  • You know I want the best for you
    As you've always wanted for me
    And though our eyes may look alike but
    They don't see the same thing
    Hurt made a great divide
    I added to the pain
    My way to survive was shutting you out
    Oh I was just a child, I no longer recognize
    And now I'm seeing you
    Maybe the first time

    Mother
    You did the best you could, the best you can
    I know you did the best you could, the best you can
    Do you know you did the best you could, the best you can
    Forgive me now, oh I understand

    They say we turn into our parents
    I guess we know now what they mean
    We might be made of broken pieces
    But that's not who we have to be
    Your mother's mother taught her only how to love
    From an empty fearful broken place
    Oh you were just child taught to shoulder the blame
    But you're a woman now
    You can lift your face

    'Cause mother
    You did the best you could, the best you can
    I know you did the best you could, the best you can
    Do you know you did the best you could, the best you can
    Forgive me now, oh I understand Writer/s: DARRELL R. BROWN, LEANN RIMES, MARK CHRISTOPHER BATSON
