Birthday I.O.U.

Lyrics

[Chorus] I.O.U. so many things I.O.U. everything But I can't repay you And it's too late to save you [Verse 1] There really wasn't a choice Seventeen was just too young I couldn't hear your voice I couldn't feel your living [Chorus] I.O.U. so many things I.O.U. everything But I can't repay you And it's too late to save you [Post-Chorus] My son, my mistake (I owe you so many things) My son, my mistake [Verse 2] I know you could have been a girl baby Now you can't be anything We needed you to prove our love We used you, then we killed you [Chorus] I.O.U. so many things I.O.U. everything But I can't repay you And it's too late to save you [Post-Chorus] My son, my mistake (I owe you so many things) My son, my mistake [Bridge] Right to life? Who decides? Is there wrong and right? When mom and dad treated you so bad We made our own decisions No one else's business We'll learn to live with our mistakes Live by learning from our mistakes My mistake [Chorus] I.O.U. so many things I.O.U. everything But I can't repay you And it's too late to save you My son, my mistake My son, (I owe you so many things) my mistake My son, (I owe you so many things) my mistake My son (I owe you so many things)
