I Want You to Know

This verse is for my mother

I hope you're not too ashamed of what your sons become

And I want you to know that I'm feeling brave

For the first time today

And it's thanks to your love

That I've been saved

And I hope you're not too worried

About what your boy has been doing

And I want you to know that I've come a long way

From all that cocaine

From all the heartbreak

Just music every day

Oh ohhh

I don't know where I'll be going

But I want you to know that I'll be ok

And for everything I've ever done to hurt you

I want you to know that I loved you everyday

Well this verse is for my father

Thanks for setting a strong example on how to be a man

And I want you to know that I took it to heart

But if I got a slow start

Or if I've fallen apart

Well I'll finish strong

'Cause there's no other way to see it

Now a back up plan is like admitting failure

And I want you to know that I just can't do it

So maybe I'll never be a rock star

But I haven't cared so far

I'm just playing my guitar

Oh ohhh

I don't know know where I'll be going

But I want you to know that I'll be ok

And for everything I've ever done to hurt you

I want you to know that I loved you every day
