Song is written to my mother who was never there for me

Remember when I was 2 and I sang you that song?
My hair was all frizzed out and the words were wrong
I'd wake up every morning then without a care
But now and then I call to you but youre not there
But I dont
Chorus:
I dont know why
Why couldnt you try? Just a little more
Sometimes I think about you when its late at night
I know I shouldnt worry about you but thats alright
I know the things that you have done were so damn wrong
And thats the reason why I went and wrote this song
But I dont
(chorus)
Bridge:
I think about the years gone by
I think Im gonna spread my wings and fly
Why couldnt you try?
(chorus)
I dont know why
Why couldnt you try?
I dont cry
But let me wipe my eyes
