[00:05.36]Nate Ruess??
[00:13.07]Mom I know I let you down
[00:18.83]And though you say the days are happy
[00:22.02]Why is the power off and I'm f**ked up
[00:25.50]And Mom I know he's not around
[00:31.83]But don't you place the blame on me
[00:35.06]As you pour yourself another drink yeah
[00:39.86]I guess we are who we are
[00:45.76]Headlights shining in the dark night I drive on
[00:52.95]Maybe we took this too far
[00:58.12]Eminem??
[00:58.43]I went in headfirst never thinkin' about who what I said hurt
[01:02.01]In what verse my mom probably got it the worst
[01:04.73]The brunt of it but as stubborn as we are did
[01:07.07]I take it too far
[01:08.20]"Cleanin' Out My Closet" and all them other songs
[01:10.18]But regardless I don't hate you 'cause Ma
[01:12.33]You're still beautiful to me 'cause you're my mom
[01:15.17]Though far be it from you to be calm
[01:16.84]Our house was Vietnam Desert Storm
[01:18.87]And both of us put together could form an atomic bomb
[01:21.31]Equivalent to chemical warfare
[01:23.04]And forever we could drag this on and on
[01:24.99]But agree to disagree that gift for me
[01:28.04]Up under the Christmas tree don't mean s**t to me
[01:29.84]You're kickin' me out
[01:30.71]It's fifteen degrees
[01:31.55]And it's Christmas Eve "Little prick just leave"
[01:33.20]Ma let me grab my f**king coat
[01:34.87]Anything to have each other's goats
[01:36.50]Why we always at each other's throats
[01:38.08]Especially when Dad he f**ked us both
[01:40.33]We're in the same f**kin' boat
[01:41.94]You'd think that'd make us close
[01:42.96]Nope
[01:43.55]Further away it drove us but together headlights shine
[01:46.27]And a car full of belongings still got a ways to go
[01:48.82]Back to grandma's house it's straight up the road
[01:50.93]And I was the man of the house the oldest
[01:52.64]So my shoulders carried the weight of the load
[01:55.50]Then Nate got taken away by the state at eight-years-old
[01:57.48]And that's when I realized you were sick
[01:59.74]And it wasn't fixable or changeable
[02:01.84]And to this day we remain estranged and I hate it though but
[02:03.87]Nate Ruess??
[02:04.71]I guess we are who we are
[02:10.91]Headlights shining in the dark night I drive on
[02:18.02]Maybe we took this too far
[02:23.34]Eminem??
[02:24.94]'Cause to this day we remain estranged and I hate it though
[02:27.53]'Cause you ain't even get to witness your grandbabies grow
[02:30.28]
[02:30.92]But I'm sorry Mama for "Cleanin' Out My Closet"
[02:33.10]At the time I was angry rightfully
[02:34.72]Maybe so
[02:35.38]Never meant that far to take it though
[02:36.98]'Cause now I know it's not your fault and I'm not makin' jokes
[02:40.27]
[02:40.82]That song I no longer play at shows
[02:42.42]And I cringe every time it's on the radio
[02:44.28]
[02:44.94]And I think of Nathan being placed in a home
[02:46.91]And all the medicine you fed us and
[02:48.42]How I just wanted you to taste your own
[02:50.14]But now the medication's takin' over
[02:52.97]And your mental state's deterioratin' slow
[02:55.16]And I'm way too old to cry this s**t is painful though
[02:57.41]But Ma I forgive you so does Nathan yo
[02:59.93]All you did all you said you did your best to raise us both
[03:03.32]Foster care that cross you bear few may be as heavy as yours
[03:06.91]But I love you Debbie Mathers
[03:08.21]Oh what a tangled web we have 'cause
[03:10.17]One thing I never asked was
[03:11.78]Where the f**k my deadbeat dad was
[03:13.56]F**k it I guess he had trouble keepin' up with every address
[03:16.74]But I'da flipped every mattress every rock and desert cactus
[03:20.15]Owned a collection of maps
[03:21.31]And followed my kids to the edge of the atlas
[03:23.29]If someone ever moved 'em from me
[03:24.93]That you coulda bet your asses
[03:26.38]If I had to come down the chimney dressed as Santa kidnap 'em
[03:29.69]And although one has only met their grandma once
[03:32.74]You pulled up in our drive one night
[03:34.40]As we were leavin' to get some hamburgers
[03:36.34]Me her and Nate we introduced you hugged you
[03:38.92]And as you left I had this overwhelming sadness
[03:41.87]Come over me as we pulled off to go our separate paths and
[03:45.42]I saw your headlights as I looked back
[03:47.20]And I'm mad I didn't get the chance to
[03:49.41]Thank you for being my mom and my dad
[03:51.37]So Mom please accept this as a
[03:53.27]Tribute I wrote this on the jet I guess I had to
[03:55.73]Get this off my chest I hope I get the chance to
[03:58.16]Lay it 'fore I'm dead the stewardess said to fasten
[04:00.68]My seatbelt I guess we're crashin'
[04:03.22]So if I'm not dreamin' I hope you get this message that
[04:05.91]I will always love you from afar 'cause you're my mom
[04:08.66]Nate Ruess??
[04:09.23]I guess we are who we are
[04:15.36]Headlights shining in the dark night I drive on
[04:22.26]Maybe we took this too far
[04:25.63]Nate Ruess/Eminem??
[04:26.74]I want a new life
[04:28.75]Start over
[04:30.21]One without a cause
[04:32.04]Clean slate
[04:32.65]So I'm coming home tonight
[04:35.62]Yeah
[04:36.10]Well no matter what the cost
[04:39.58]And if the plane goes down
[04:42.88]Or if the crew can't wake me up
[04:46.06]Well just know that I'm alright
[04:49.41]I was not afraid to die
[04:52.62]Oh even if there's songs to sing
[04:56.15]Well my children will carry me
[04:59.24]Just know that I'm alright
[05:02.40]I was not afraid to die
[05:05.51]Because I put my faith in my little girls
[05:08.93]So I'll never say goodbye cruel world
[05:12.29]Just know that I'm alright
[05:15.44]I am not afraid to die
[05:19.89]Nate Ruess??
[05:21.45]I guess we are who we are
[05:27.70]Headlights shining in the dark night I drive on
[05:34.27]Maybe we took this too far
[05:39.02]I want a new life
