My Mother's Grave

Jay Jay Johanson


Sorry for the times I had to leave you alone
In all the situations when I couldn't come home
Sorry for the things I said, I was not my self
It's getting late and I just wish I was somewhere else

I should have brought apologies and flowers
Instead I left and I was gone for hours

I understand if you were disappointed last night
So many times I tried but couldn't set things right
Some times it's not enough with poor excuses
But I just don't know the correct words to use

And I promise and I swear on my mother's grave
It never gonna happen again

I practice every night that now my vision's too blur
And nothing comes out right, it's just them I hear that occur
Sorry for the times I had to leave you alone
In all the situations when I couldn't come home

I should have brought apologies and flowers
Instead I left and I was gone for hours
And I promise and swear on my mother's grave
It never gonna happen again
And I promise and swear on my mother's grave
It never gonna happen again
