  • Oh, dear mother, I love you
    I'm sorry, I wasn't good enough
    Dear father, forgive me
    'Cause in your eyes, I just never added up
    In my heart I know I failed you
    But you left me here alone

    If I could hold back the rain
    Would you numb the pain
    'Cause I remember everything
    If I could help you forget
    Would you take my regrets
    'Cause I remember everything

    Oh, dear brother, just don't hate me
    For never standing by you or being by your side
    Dear sister, please don't blame me
    I only did what I thought was truly right
    It's a long and lonely road
    When you know you walk alone

    If I could hold back the rain
    Would you numb the pain
    'Cause I remember everything
    If I could help you forget
    Would you take my regrets
    'Cause I remember everything

    I feel like running away
    I'm still so far from home
    You say that I'll never change
    But what the fuck do you know
    I'll burn it all to the ground before I let you run
    Please forgive me, I can't forgive you now
    I remember everything

    If I could hold back the rain, would you numb the pain
    'Cause I remember everything
    If I could help you forget, would you take my regrets
    'Cause I remember everything

    It all went by so fast
    I still can't change the past
    I always will remember everything
    If we could start again
    Would that change the end
    We remember everything

  • Cage from Ottawa, KsThe line "before I let you run" is "before I let you in."
  • Louis from Spring, TxI love the Dear Mother Dear Father lyrics. It sounds like Ivan was reading suicide notes while recording the song.
