    Lyrics:
    Sometimes I think about you
    Wonder if you're out there somewhere thinking bout me
    And would you even recognize
    The woman that your little girl has grown up to be
    Cause I look in the mirror and all I see
    Are your brown eyes looking back at me
    They're the only thing you ever gave to me at all
    Oh, I hear the weather's nice in California
    There's sunny skies as far I can see
    If you ever come back home to Carolina
    I wonder what you'd say to me
    I think about how it ain't fair
    That you weren't there to braid my hair
    Like mothers do
    You weren't around to cheer me on
    Help me dress for my high school prom
    Like mothers do
    Did you think I didn't need you here
    To hold my hand
    To dry my tears
    Did you even miss me through the years at all
    Oh, I hear the weather's nice in California
    There's sunny skies as far I can see
    If you ever come back home to Carolina
    I wonder what you'd say to me
    Forgiveness is such a simple word
    But it's so hard to do when you've been hurt
    Oh, I hear the weather's nice in California
    And just in case you're wondering about me
    From now on I won't be in Carolina
    Your little girl is off
    Your little girl is off
    Your little girl is off to Tennessee

    Both of my parents didn’t want me and I know them both now, I reached out to them both thinking I’d have some closure, but honestly I wish I didn’t even bother. I’ve tried so many times to get them to accept and love me but that still hasn’t happened. There are days I could care less and then there are days I fall to pieces. How could you not want your child, that you created, together out of love or lust doesn’t matter. I’d do anything for my 2 kids. They’ll never know the pain I’ve gone through.

    The first time I heard this song was on Thanksgiving Day 10yrs ago. I had just gotten divorced and the last of my family moved away after my mom passed away. My children were with their dad’s family and I was completely alone. I had decided that I was going to end my life. This song came on CMT and it made me think of my 2 little boys. I couldn’t do this to them. The thought of them ever thinking I didn’t love them enough to live had me in tears. This song saved my life and saved my boys from a lifetime of heartbreak.

    My birth mother left me and my brother . I was 3 and he was 2. My dad and his parents raised us in Tennessee. She never looked back. I talk to her sister and missed out on many years with them . She always knew where we were. She didn't care. My daddy and grandparents are gone and she still is out there. This song makes me cry! I have to forgive her. As a mother, I don't know how she could live without her children! I can't! I would die for mine!

    This song came out right after my mother gave up custody of me when I was 11. She was self medicating after a TERRIBLE life and mental disorders. She gave custody to my father. She worked hard to get clean, and when I was a little older we got the relationship we hadn't had before. She died in a car accident when I was 22, but we were talking on the phone everyday at that point, and I was actually able to speak to her 15 minutes before she died. That being said, this beautiful song takes me back to the way it felt when she didn't come to court that day for me.

    Never will I forget her powerful performance of this song during an award show. Pure emotion and absolute soulful depth.
    She captures emotion with her vocals much like Reba.
    Definitely a classic.

      My mother was supposed to be my best friend, she was a mom until I got old enough to voice my own opinions. She would tell how I mentally incompetent or slow
      But I have and continue to prove her wrong. She kept my biological dad out of my life for 13 years. She made me hate him.
      She doesn't care about me,shes constantly trying to still control my life and I'm 21 married and we have a beautiful almost 5 month old daughter.

    Going through a nasty custody battle and this song is all I can think about. I never would abandon my kids but I let my ex have a visit in another state and he kept them and went and filed for emergency temp custody because I left him... my kids souls are starving for their mother and sometimes money is all someone has! But I’m the daughter of the king Almighty God and he will prevail! He is going to show up and show out for me and my babies. They know in their heart and tell me he’s keeping them away. That’s what matters is they know and I tell them I’m always in their heart and to never forget that. God is so good!!!

This song gets me everytime I listen to it. I was in foster care for almost 6yrs then I got adopted. I still don't really know what my biological mom is like but that's ok at least i have one that loves me and has always since

    As a Grandma, whose mother left when I was just three months old, this song hits home. STILL. I LOVE the end, where she sees herself as a little girl. I too decided to stop caring what my biological mother thinks and feels. And took care of that little girl inside me all by myself. She is long gone now. Eight years. Yet I still wish I had a mother. Some things are ingrained in is I suppose. But I have a grandson who adores me
    And a son who loves me. That's enough!

  • @elizabethfuller5508

    this is exactly why I've never walked away from my child, the hurt you feel from longing for a mother and not understanding why she left never goes away, today as a grown woman, I'm glad of how it turned out because she made me strong enough not to abandon my daughter no matter what.

    Kellie if you ever see this I want you to know that your life is being relived. My wife and I are raising our grand daughter. Our daughter gave birth to her in 2004 out of wedlock and never wanted anything to do with her. Although her live is full and complete we often comfort her as she wonders why her mother rejected her. Just like you, she can sing. Don't know where she gets it from but she can definitely carry a tune. She knows your story and she gets strength from your success. Hope one day you can meet her and hear her voice. To her mother she is slight interruption in her life. To us she is a gift from God like no other. You inspire people, both young and old. Thank you for simply being you!!!! God Bless

    @victoriashandle4335 8 років тому +3

    this song brings me to tears everytime i listen to it. my mother gave me up when i was only 6 months! she didnt want me or anything. i hate that i never grew up with my birth mother. my dads had wives but they were always so mean to me. they never really was the mother figure i needed. my early teen years were the worst goung through heartbreaks and puberty. i needed a mother but never had one. my dad tried to fill the mother shoes but he did great but he never really had that nurturing mother personality. it was so hard growing up without my mother. but my daddy did great. im actually glad she didn't want me but im also sad that she didnt want me. it causes so many thoughts to try to sneak up in my mind. but ima strong woman because of my dad. i still wish i had a mother but i guess i was never meant to have one. the . only thing my birth mother ever taught me was to not walk out on my children. to raise them in my life not throw them on their father. i will be the mother she never was.

    I remember the first time I heard this song when I was 14 years old and hadn't seen my mom in 4 years. She was always in and out of my and my siblings life when we were growing up because our mom had some ongoing drug issues. But this song really helped me it gave me a channel for my feelings and put them into words. Thank you for this song Kellie! My mom has been clean and sober for 9 years now and is an amazing meme to my nieces and nephews. I look at what happened with growing up how I did as a mixed blessing, now I know exactly the type of mom not to be and how not to live my life. Drugs have never been an interest of mine because of my first hand experience with the pain they cause everyone around you.

  • @jodygill2614
    @jodygill2614 2 роки тому +4

    I wish there were more songs like this for us Motherless Daughters. Great book, as is Will I Ever Be Good Enough: Healing the Daughters of Narcissistic Mothers. For some of us, being a motherless daughter begins decades of experiences that we can't describe in a fashion that those with mothers can even begin to understand. The pain in Kelly's eyes says it all. That pain can only be there in this song by a singer who knows the depths of the pain of being a motherless daughter. After years of abusive adoptive mothers, I finally found the right one in my late 30's. Someone who is emotionally intelligent and trauma-informed.

    This song reminds me of my dad. I only seen him a handful of times as a child. He ran off and raised another family in North Carolina after saying he wasn't ready to be a parent after having 3 kids. He left us in an abusive situation and I don't think I can forgive him completely for what he allowed to happen to us. I want to forgive but I just don't know how too. It's too late now as he passed away a year and a half ago. I held his hand as he passed away. Something I will never get out if my head.

    This really hits home for me. Although my mom is in texas and Im in tennessee. When i first heard this song on the radio about 2 weeks ago, I cried my eyes out. I never knew anyone could write a song that hit the nail on the head for me. I knew other girls had probably went through this in their life too, but when you never hear anything about it you feel so alone. Im glad Kelly wrote this song. Im 24 now but I was raised by my grandparents also and i know the hurt.

Both my parents are toxic although my mother abandoned me at 11 it was my father was the one that was controlling and abusive. My mom didn't care that I was left in a toxic environment and only came in and out of my life when it was convenient for her.

    Over the years this song has given me the therapy I truly needed and closure after my Mother left me when I was 15. She met a man online and within the blink of an eye she was moving across the world to be with him, leaving me behind. She was all I had, no Dad, no other family. When she left I became very depressed but then I came across this song, it got me though the sleepless nights and sadness. Then something amazing happened I picked myself back up, made the honour role through high-school, was student council president, and captain of the soccer team, had a beautiful dress for prom and graduated with four academic and volunteering/community awards. Now that I am 19 and a freshman in College doing it completely on my own I have gained so much perspective on why things like this happen to children. I am strong and I will never stop fighting to show my Parents what they gave up. This song hits home for me and always has. Kellie Pickler is a beautiful person inside and out. Thank you for your help with my own life through your music. Inspirational.

This is about her Mom, but to me this song when I listen to it, is for my Dad It reminds me so much of my Daddy, that was never in my life growing up. Everytime I listen to this song I cry & cry like a baby 😢 😢 😢 because it truly​ touches me like no other song has before. Except for a couple of your other songs that truly have a meaning to me like the song "My Angel" 👼 My Grandmother that had passed away a few years ago from cancer was like my Mother she was there for me though everything all of my ups, downs, & my in betweens she would always be there for me no matter what and that woman was truly MY ANGEL 👼 because she wasn't just my Grandmother to me, but she was my Mother!!! ❤❤💔💔

    This song has a special meaning to me. My biological mother abandoned me when I was 2 and wasn't a part of my life. I'm very grateful that my aunt took me in and raised me as her own. As far as I'm concerned my aunt is my mom . For those of you who abandon your children and then try coming back in their lives when they're all grown up and made something of their lives without you in it, do us a favor don't. Just go about your life like you did for all those years because we don't miss you or want you in our lives now.

    I was 12 and the oldest girl out of 4 other siblings. Suddenly I became a mother. My father was a police officer and not home much. When he was home we got beat a lot. And so I survived by caring for my siblings, cooking, cleaning and wishing I had a mom. It was traumatic for me and my siblings. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. The things we all went through and the impact it had on us throughout life was very hard. I thank God for walking with me and helping me.

    I was raised by a single dad. My "mother" dropped me off at a bridge with my dad at 3 and said "take her for a while." A while turned into a random Christmas visit at 9, being told at 17 I had a 3-year-old half-sister (who is still with her 7 years later), and being abandoned on 3 separate occasions before I finally cut ties for good.
    You missed out, "mother." I met a wonderful man, we are getting married in a year or so, and I will be a far better mother to my children than you were to me.

    The first time I heard this song I thought of my father. He left my mom and I for drugs and alcohol when I was 2. I thank God every single day that my mom was there for me and how strong she was through everything. I guess those things were more important than we were.

    Sometimes even with a "mom" there, they aren't really "there". Left home at 15 to get away from abuse that never ceased even after I said something. Sucks realizing that your mother won't and didn't protect you. Kellie my heart empathizes with yours, for I truly "get it". I also understand why you have the hard exterior, as I have it also. I don't show someone my heart unless I trust them, but in my experience that also has led to more heartache.
