My dreams were left behind,
I considered the sacrifice worthy.
Not even once did it cross my mind,
That I would be better off lonely.

Missing opportunities, special things or sometimes just a meal,
Just so you could have that extra bit on the side.
Not a grain of resentment did I feel,
For your best interests I would always try to decide.

Mistakes I made a plenty,
Faults I have more than a few.
Not once did I think myself saintly,
Nevertheless I tried my best for you.

Now that I am older and having to battle,
You listen to others and have their gold glisten in your eye.
For just my love and open arms you cannot settle,
To get their approval you would rather tell your mother goodbye...

Goodbye....


My dreams were left behind,
I considered the sacrifice worthy.
Not even once did it cross my mind,
That I would be better off lonely.

Missing opportunities, special things or sometimes just a meal,
Just so you could have that extra bit on the side.
Not a grain of resentment did I feel,
For your best interests I would always try to decide.

Mistakes I made a plenty,
Faults I have more than a few.
Not once did I think myself saintly,
Nevertheless I tried my best for you.

Now that I am older and having to battle,
You listen to others and have their gold glisten in your eye.
For just my love and open arms you cannot settle,
To get their approval you would rather tell your mother goodbye...
