Daddy's leaving
Mommy says we're better off without him
He can't hurt us anymore
I owe it all to you mom

Getting on the bus
Excited to start school
Mom let me wear what I wanted
I made friends just being who I am
I owe it all to you mom

Mom made me play softball
I didn't want to
I didn't know it would be my favorite sport
I owe it all to you mom

I better be strong, for her
I owe it all to you mom

Only the best get in
I owe it all to you mom

Everything that I am
And everything that I will be
I know I'll be

I owe it all to you mom

I cannot seem to understand those people who view others as a utensil, a get away, a fancy party.

When you are yourself, that is all you will ever owe them.

Even in grief, debt, and self doubt, all you will ever owe them is for you to be you.

Could you possibly owe them a lovely touch, a tender look,  that's not too much?

Why of course you don't.

You do not owe them a night alone, a sweet word through the phone, all of you feelings known to them, you do not owe them a single thing, and if you feel like you do, there is a black screen over everything in your life.

You owe it to yourself to not worry about them.

Do not worry at all.

(j.a.r.)
You're giving up
I won't let you
I'm relentless in my conversational skills
You won't no matter what
You can keep pushing me away
But i will not give up on you, because you owe it to yourself to achieve better.

We thought owing this world
Would bring us to owning

You owe to play with sun
O’ my heart!
But it burns everything
There’s no effect of tear or dew
Me or you!

I owe you for giving me hope,
I owe you for giving me the  opportunity,
I owe you for helping me to cope,
I owe you to perfect even the nitty-gritty!
You are life and I owe you mine!
