Lyrics Gratitude - Natalia

Gratitude

Don’t get me wrong, I’m grateful that my mom is still here
And I wanna reach out, but I feel like it’s never enough
People say I act like you and I look like you
Stubborn, smart and tough
You did the best you could and I understand that now
But there’s still an ache there where my mom should be
Do you think about dad?
Cause I think about him every day
It’s so hard to keep the pain inside that way
Sorry if I was selfish momma, I was wrapped in my own grief
It’s just that when my daddy died, I was in this disbelief
But I’ve so many regrets, so much anger and so much pain
Too many things that were left unsaid and I needed someone to blame
So I wrote this for ya
Cause I wanted to let you know that I’m grateful for my life
It’s just so hard to be close to the fire you see
Cause we hold on a little to thight
I need room to breath, I need room to be free
Don’t think that I don’t love you, cause I do
I just need to be me, cause when we’re too close
It’s hard to know where you end and I begin
Sorry if I was selfish momma, I was wrapped in my own grief
It’s just that when my daddy died, I was in this disbelief
But I’ve so many regrets, so much anger and so much pain
Too many things that were left unsaid and I needed someone to blame
So today I’m choosing gratitude
Gonna try and let the anger go
You did the best that you could do
Just like your mom and all your moms before
Sorry if I was selfish momma, I was wrapped in my own grief
It’s just that when my daddy died, I was in this disbelief
But I’ve so many regrets, so much anger and so much pain
Too many things that were left unsaid and I needed someone to blame
Sorry if I was selfish momma, I was wrapped in my own grief
It’s just that when my daddy died, I was in this disbelief
But I’ve so many regrets, so much anger and so much pain
Too many things that were left unsaid and I needed someone to blame
