My Foundation

(앨범: Same Difference - 2014)

I just thought that you should know
I just thought that you should know
I just thought that
I just thought that
You should know how much you mean to me

I know I don't call enough
I know you worried 'bout me, out here all alone
I hope I fall in love
I'll be alright though, I'm in no hurry
Happy chasing down my dream, I'm getting there, don't worry ma
I'ma be there someday, I'ma settle down, you wait and see
I'll be successful if I give back half of what you gave to me
And I just wanted you to know
Yeah I just wanted you to know
You're my hero ma, you really are, I'm so damn proud of you
And I see Katie doing good, I know she learned a lot from you
Won't forget the time I caught you crying 'cause I caught you lying
Told me you were laughing, you were always trying to hide it
I thought I was losing you in high school, doctors couldn't heal it
Told me it might take your health, but it would never take your spirit
You were right, you're a fighter, you're the strongest woman I know
Even when I'm far away, you're everywhere that I go

I just wanted you to know
Yeah I just wanted you to know
I could never put a price on what you gave to me
And I just wanted you to know
Yeah I just wanted you to know
How much I appreciate and you are my foundation

It's not the life you would have chose for me, I know it's not
But I'ma still go and make you proud hopefully
I'll always be the way you raised me
I gotta do it my way though or I'll go crazy
Lately, I've been coming face to face with everything you prepped me for
You might think I don't, but I remember what you said before
And I just wanted you to know
Yeah I just wanted you to know
You taught me how to be a man, you always treated mom right
Nobody could know the half
You never needed limelight
I learned more than I can put in words just by watching you
Ironic this music the way I get that across to you, isn't it
Since a kid I've been listening
Your dad's been sick for years, you're like the only one who visits him
I know it's not easy, his mind is gone and you miss him
You taught me family is family and mine's in Michigan and you should know

I just wanted you to know
Yeah I just wanted you to know
I could never put a price on what you gave to me
And I just wanted you to know
Yeah I just wanted you to know
How much I appreciate and you are my foundation

I just wanted you to know how much you mean to me
