I'm looking back on everything that I have done 
and I can't help but feel overcome with sincere pride in my decisions. 
I'll disregard all of my mistakes and regrets; 
forgive me if I do forget to note your contributions. 
Because without you I couldn't do half the things that I have done. 
It's just that lately I've been overwhelmed 
with this thing we've called growing up. 
So here's to you and everything you ever said, 
every word inside my head, I owe it all to you. 
I know I never can fully repay you, 
but my hope is that this song will just have to do. 
I know this is the hardest part of my life. 
I swear I'll make it all up to you in time.
