I see the past still hides in your closet
I see you can't move but you're starting to process
So now I hope to God that you're making some progress
Guess I don't believe but I'm just being cautious

I see the guilt weighing heavy on your conscious
I see that all the pain isn't gone, it's a constant
I hope that you can step back and put it in context
'Cause that man, he belongs in a coffin

I hope one day that you'll see
Everything I did was for you and me
Everything I did was for you to see, you to see
I hope one day, that you'll believe
Everything I have, yeah, you gave to me
I'm everything I am 'cause you made me, you made me

I wish I had a verse with some better words
Wish I had a hope that you've never heard
Wish one day that you wouldn't hurt
'Cause mama, you give me the world
I wish I had a way with some better rhymes
But I still can't say what I can't find
I wish one day that you wouldn't cry
'Cause mama, you kept me alive
Whatever you need, I promise I'll try
I promise I'll try 'cause mama

I know it all comes up when we're talking
I know you're tryin' to save me the pain that it's causing
I never see you crying, now I hear that it's pouring
So, let me be the roof while you pull up the flooring
I know it's not meant to be something you're forcing
But I wish that you could force a little more, it's important
'Cause now it's your time and you're turn to be open
And everything you kept in a box, you can throw it

I hope one day that you'll see
Everything I did was for you and me
Everything I did was for you to see, you to see
And I hope one day, that you'll believe
Everything I have, yeah, you gave to me
I'm everything I am 'cause you made me, you made me

I wish I had a verse with some better words
Wish I had a hope that you've never heard
Wish one day that you wouldn't hurt
'Cause mama, you give me the world
I wish I had a way with some better rhymes
But I still can't say what I can't find

I wish one day that you wouldn't cry
'Cause, mama, you kept me alive
Whatever you need, I promise I'll try
I promise I'll try 'cause mama
You kept me alive
'Cause mama, you kept me alive
