Mother I miss you From the time I was young, we were poor Unlike other people we didn't eat out much If my mom wasn't at home I would eat instant noodles alone But I got really tired of instant noodles So I yelled at mom for better food And forced her to take out the emergency money That had been hidden To order chinese noodles for us, I was really happy But mother didn't eat for some reason Mother said she didn't like chinese noodles Mother said she didn't like chinese noodles Yah-ee yah-ee yah-a-a That's how we live, we regret and tears fall Yah-ee yah-ee yah-a-a That's how we live, it really hurts but we smile again When I was in the first year of middle school It was time to open our lunch boxes and eat We all opened our lunch boxes together to share Some rich kid yelled at me Because I had lousy side dishes I was ashamed and started to cry Then that jerk started teasing me I couldn't take it, so I punched him in the face Mother came to school from work She was called for, no, she was dragged in This will never happen again she begged With her head down to that jerk's mom my mother begged My mother begged Yah-ee yah-ee yah-a-a That's how we live, we regret and tears fall Yah-ee yah-ee yah-a-a That's how we live, it really hurts but we smile again Even without father we finally made it We finally opened a small restaurant It wasn't big, but we were happy Tears came from mom's wrinkled eyes We used mom's and my first name to name the restaurant We named the restaurant and offered our prayers It was late at night, but nobody left People kept on congratulating us It was midnight when everyone left Mother was very tired, she quickly fell into a deep sleep And she never woke up again I loved you Even though I never once told you I love you. Rest now Forever in the world without me Yah-ee yah-ee yah-a-a That's how we live, we regret and tears fall Yah-ee yah-ee yah-a-a That's how we live, it really hurts but we smile again Yah-ee yah-ee yah-a-a That's how we live, we regret and tears fall Yah-ee yah-ee yah-a-a That's how we live, it really hurts but we smile again
