LeAnn Rimes - Mother lyrics

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 oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

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?
Mother, mother, mother, mother, mother
Mother
You did the best you could, the best you can
I know you did the best you could
With what you had
Do you know you did the best you could
The best you can?

Forgive me now oh, I understand
