Yes mom


Yes mom, I’ve been sleeping enough
and I’ll have plenty of dirty clothes with me on Friday
Yes mom, I think it’s really over this time
and I wasn’t the one that slammed the door
No mom, it wasn’t my fault this time
and I promise it wasn’t something I said.
No mom, that was really his only reason
guess I just don’t do it for him like he wants it done.
Yes mom, I promise I’m really trying not to cry
and you need not remind me to just let it out.
Yes mom, I will cry with you when I walk through the door
We lost something big this week, we both know that.
And yes mom, I’ll move on and I’ll let you help me.
Know you don’t wanna see your baby girl lose
Four more years.
