Intro:

Yeah, this one’s for you, Mama

Thought I’d never say it, but I gotta get it off my chest

Listen close, this is my truth

Verse 1:

Mama, I was reckless, I admit it, I was blind

Running through these streets, chasing dreams, leaving you behind

You were always there, steady, steady, holding me tight

While I was out in the darkness, fighting my own fight

I took your love for granted, thought I knew it all

Now I see the cracks, the pain behind your wall

Late-night tears, I hear 'em fall, wish I could rewind

To those moments when I failed, left you crying, left you crying

Pre-Chorus:

I’m sorry for the nights I didn’t call

For the times I made you feel small

Mama, you deserved it all

Now I’m standing here, trying not to fall

Chorus:

Mama, I’m sorry, I never meant to cause you pain

Mama, I’m sorry, I was lost in my own game

Mama, I love you, more than words could ever say

Mama, forgive me, I’ll make it right someday

Verse 2:

Remember those mornings, you’d wake up early, make me breakfast

Never asked for thanks, but I was ungrateful, I was reckless

Thought I was invincible, thought I didn’t need nobody

But now I see your sacrifices, and I feel so sorry

You worked two jobs, just to keep us afloat

While I was out chasing fame, forgot what you promote

Love, patience, strength—things I didn’t understand

But now I’m grown, I see the masterpiece you planned

Pre-Chorus:

I betrayed your trust, I broke your heart

Now I’m trying to make a brand-new start

Mama, you’re my guiding star

I swear I’ll mend the scars you are

Chorus:

Mama, I’m sorry, I never meant to cause you pain

Mama, I’m sorry, I was lost in my own game

Mama, I love you, more than words could ever say

Mama, forgive me, I’ll make it right someday

Bridge:

Every tear you shed, I carry in my soul

Now I’m fighting, trying to regain control

Your love’s a fire that never dies, it’s eternal

Mama, I promise, I’ll be better, more maternal

For all the sleepless nights, all the worries you hid

I’m here now, I’m your son, I’m your kid

And I’ll shout it loud, let the whole world hear

Mama, I love you, I hold you dear

Verse 3:

Life’s a lesson, and I learned it too late

But I’m here to tell you, I’m changing my fate

No more regrets, no more shame, I’ll carry your name

With pride and love, I’ll erase all the pain

From now on, I vow to stand tall, be your shield

Show you my gratitude, make the wounds heal

For all you sacrificed, I’ll give you my best

Mama, I’m sorry, I’ll never forget

Outro:

So here’s my apology, wrapped in these words

To the woman who gave me everything, though I was absurd

Mama, I love you, forever I’ll stay true

Thank you for everything, I owe it all to you
