I'm sorry, Mommy, that I forget

Please, don't scream, Mommy

I'm already full of regret

But, you keep screaming, Mommy

About all the things I do

But, you don't realize, Mommy

All I do, it's all to impress you

Please, oh please, Mommy

Will you forgive me?

Please, oh please, Mommy

Please do not be angry

I'm sorry that I cry

I know you hate it, Mommy

But it's all I can really do, if I don't, I feel I may die

I know how I'll remember!

Oh, Mommy, I feel so clever!

I'll carve it in my arm

Oh, Mommy, won't you be thrilled?

But, you don't realize, Mommy

I'm slowly being killed

But, you can't know that

I won't be a brat

So, I'll keep smiling, Mommy

I'll nod and listen to your every whim

Surely, then, one of us will win

'It' runs down my arms

But don't give it another thought

You need not know of all the wars that I have fought

I won't forget anymore

Marks I have by the score

Running down my arm, so I won't forget

Running down my arm, but I still feel regret

But, you can't know that, can you, Mommy?

So, I'll smile, I'll fool you all

Andyou won't expect it when I fall
