I.O.U. so many things   I.O.U. everything   But I can't repay you   And it's too late to save you      There really wasn't a choice   Seventeen was just too young   I couldn't hear your voice   I couldn't feel your living      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, my mistake      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      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, my mistake      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      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)
