Mother - LeAnn Rimes

You know I want the best for you
As you've always wanted for me
And though our eyes may look alike but
They don't see the same thing
Hurt made a great divide
I added to the pain
My way to survive was shutting you out
Oh I was just a child, I no longer recognize
And now I'm seeing you
Maybe the first time

Mother
You did the best you could, the best you can
I know you did the best you could, the best you can
Do you know you did the best you could, the best you can
Forgive me now, oh I understand

They say we turn into our parents
I guess we know now what they mean
We might be made of broken pieces
But that's not who we have to be
Your mother's mother taught her only how to love
From an empty fearful broken place
Oh you were just child taught to shoulder the blame
But you're a woman now
You can lift your face

'Cause mother
You did the best you could, the best you can
I know you did the best you could, the best you can
Do you know you did the best you could, the best you can
Forgive me now, oh I understand
