Dear Mom and Dad Lyrics

I'm sorry, Mother, you raised a thief
I've stolen everything from hearts to dirty sheets
I've made a mess of things but I've always come clean
I'm sorry, Mother, it's just the way it has to be
I'm not ashamed, I am not ashamed

I'm sorry, Father, that I grew up
I'm sorry, Father, I was never good enough
But I loved you as much as any son could love a fuck-up
You couldn't love me back for who I was
I am not ashamed, I am not ashamed
I've played the hand I was dealt
And I'm proud of how I've felt
Proud of how it all turned out

I played the hand I was dealt
And I'm proud of how I felt
Proud of how it all turned out
But how's it all gonna turn out?
I guess I'll, I guess I'll write a letter
Dear Mom and Dad
Here's a letter from that accident you had
I'm not that bad
I've gotta purpose, and it's worth it
I can promise you that
But these tattoos won't wash off
And I won't stop hating cops
I can't give up the drinks and drugs
But I'm saying this with love
Sincerely yours, your only son

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
