Nate Ruess：

Mom I know I let you down

And though you say the days are happy

Why is the power off and I'm f**ked up

And Mom I know he's not around

But don't you place the blame on me

As you pour yourself another drink yeah

I guess we are who we are

Headlights shining in the dark night I drive on

Maybe we took this too far

Eminem：

I went in headfirst never thinkin' about who what I said hurt

In what verse my mom probably got it the worst

The brunt of it but as stubborn as we are did

I take it too far

"Cleanin' Out My Closet" and all them other songs

But regardless I don't hate you 'cause Ma

You're still beautiful to me 'cause you're my mom

Though far be it from you to be calm

Our house was Vietnam Desert Storm

And both of us put together could form an atomic bomb

Equivalent to chemical warfare

And forever we could drag this on and on

But agree to disagree that gift for me

Up under the Christmas tree don't mean s**t to me

You're kickin' me out

It's fifteen degrees

And it's Christmas Eve "Little prick just leave"

Ma let me grab my f**king coat

Anything to have each other's goats

Why we always at each other's throats

Especially when Dad he f**ked us both

We're in the same f**kin' boat

You'd think that'd make us close

Nope

Further away it drove us but together headlights shine

And a car full of belongings still got a ways to go

Back to grandma's house it's straight up the road

And I was the man of the house the oldest

So my shoulders carried the weight of the load

Then Nate got taken away by the state at eight-years-old

And that's when I realized you were sick

And it wasn't fixable or changeable

And to this day we remain estranged and I hate it though but

Nate Ruess：

I guess we are who we are

Headlights shining in the dark night I drive on

Maybe we took this too far

Eminem：

'Cause to this day we remain estranged and I hate it though

'Cause you ain't even get to witness your grandbabies grow

But I'm sorry Mama for "Cleanin' Out My Closet"

At the time I was angry rightfully

Maybe so

Never meant that far to take it though

'Cause now I know it's not your fault and I'm not makin' jokes
