I'll try, mamma

I feel nothing but pain
It drives me insane
To see you like this
I miss
The real you
I do
Love and care for
And now I feel sore
It feels like I backed out
I didn't hear you shout
For attention
Didn't give you much affection
So you reached for the liquer
Which only made you sicker
Tears are running down my cheek
And I feel weak
It went too far, way
Now I don't know what to say
To help you
Guess this is something you have to do
On your own
Totally alone
And when you're outa this mess
I will do my bes'
To keep you out
And no doubt
Be a better daughter and friend
And I'll try... to understand
