[00:05]Nate Ruess:
[00:13]Mom I know I let you down
[00:18]And though you say the days are happy
[00:22]Why is the power off and I'm f**ked up
[00:25]And Mom I know he's not around
[00:31]But don't you place the blame on me
[00:35]As you pour yourself another drink yeah
[00:39]I guess we are who we are
[00:45]Headlights shining in the dark night I drive on
[00:52]Maybe we took this too far
[00:58]Eminem:
[00:58]I went in headfirst never thinkin' about who what I said hurt
[01:02]In what verse my mom probably got it the worst
[01:04]The brunt of it but as stubborn as we are did
[01:07]I take it too far
[01:08]"Cleanin' Out My Closet" and all them other songs
[01:10]But regardless I don't hate you 'cause Ma
[01:12]You're still beautiful to me 'cause you're my mom
[01:15]Though far be it from you to be calm
[01:16]Our house was Vietnam Desert Storm
[01:18]And both of us put together could form an atomic bomb
[01:21]Equivalent to chemical warfare
[01:23]And forever we could drag this on and on
[01:24]But agree to disagree that gift for me
[01:28]Up under the Christmas tree don't mean s**t to me
[01:29]You're kickin' me out
[01:30]It's fifteen degrees
[01:31]And it's Christmas Eve "Little prick just leave"
[01:33]Ma let me grab my f**king coat
[01:34]Anything to have each other's goats
[01:36]Why we always at each other's throats
[01:38]Especially when Dad he f**ked us both
[01:40]We're in the same f**kin' boat
[01:41]You'd think that'd make us close
[01:42]Nope
[01:43]Further away it drove us but together headlights shine
[01:46]And a car full of belongings still got a ways to go
[01:48]Back to grandma's house it's straight up the road
[01:50]And I was the man of the house the oldest
[01:52]So my shoulders carried the weight of the load
[01:55]Then Nate got taken away by the state at eight-years-old
[01:57]And that's when I realized you were sick
[01:59]And it wasn't fixable or changeable
[02:01]And to this day we remain estranged and I hate it though but
[02:03]Nate Ruess:
[02:04]I guess we are who we are
[02:10]Headlights shining in the dark night I drive on
[02:18]Maybe we took this too far
[02:23]Eminem:
[02:24]'Cause to this day we remain estranged and I hate it though
[02:27]'Cause you ain't even get to witness your grandbabies grow
[02:30]But I'm sorry Mama for "Cleanin' Out My Closet"
[02:33]At the time I was angry rightfully
[02:34]Maybe so
[02:35]Never meant that far to take it though
[02:36]'Cause now I know it's not your fault and I'm not makin' jokes
[02:40]That song I no longer play at shows
[02:42]And I cringe every time it's on the radio
[02:44]And I think of Nathan being placed in a home
[02:46]And all the medicine you fed us and
[02:48]How I just wanted you to taste your own
[02:50]But now the medication's takin' over
[02:52]And your mental state's deterioratin' slow
[02:55]And I'm way too old to cry this s**t is painful though
[02:57]But Ma I forgive you so does Nathan yo
[02:59]All you did all you said you did your best to raise us both
[03:03]Foster care that cross you bear few may be as heavy as yours
[03:06]But I love you Debbie Mathers
[03:08]Oh what a tangled web we have 'cause
[03:10]One thing I never asked was
[03:11]Where the f**k my deadbeat dad was
[03:13]F**k it I guess he had trouble keepin' up with every address
[03:16]But I'da flipped every mattress every rock and desert cactus
[03:20]Owned a collection of maps
[03:21]And followed my kids to the edge of the atlas
[03:23]If someone ever moved 'em from me
[03:24]That you coulda bet your asses
[03:26]If I had to come down the chimney dressed as Santa kidnap 'em
[03:29]And although one has only met their grandma once
[03:32]You pulled up in our drive one night
[03:34]As we were leavin' to get some hamburgers
[03:36]Me her and Nate we introduced you hugged you
[03:38]And as you left I had this overwhelming sadness
[03:41]Come over me as we pulled off to go our separate paths and
[03:45]I saw your headlights as I looked back
[03:47]And I'm mad I didn't get the chance to
[03:49]Thank you for being my mom and my dad
[03:51]So Mom please accept this as a
[03:53]Tribute I wrote this on the jet I guess I had to
[03:55]Get this off my chest I hope I get the chance to
[03:58]Lay it 'fore I'm dead the stewardess said to fasten
[04:00]My seatbelt I guess we're crashin'
[04:03]So if I'm not dreamin' I hope you get this message that
[04:05]I will always love you from afar 'cause you're my mom
[04:08]Nate Ruess:
[04:09]I guess we are who we are
[04:15]Headlights shining in the dark night I drive on
[04:22]Maybe we took this too far
[04:25]Nate Ruess/Eminem:
[04:26]I want a new life
[04:28]Start over
[04:30]One without a cause
[04:32]Clean slate
[04:32]So I'm coming home tonight
[04:35]Yeah
[04:36]Well no matter what the cost
[04:39]And if the plane goes down
[04:42]Or if the crew can't wake me up
[04:46]Well just know that I'm alright
[04:49]I was not afraid to die
[04:52]Oh even if there's songs to sing
[04:56]Well my children will carry me
[04:59]Just know that I'm alright
[05:02]I was not afraid to die
[05:05]Because I put my faith in my little girls
[05:08]So I'll never say goodbye cruel world
[05:12]Just know that I'm alright
[05:15]I am not afraid to die
[05:19]Nate Ruess:
[05:21]I guess we are who we are
[05:27]Headlights shining in the dark night I drive on
[05:34]Maybe we took this too far
[05:39]I want a new life
