Dear Mom...

**GG Exclusive** Hey, you guys! This would be my first ever blog for globalgrind.com. Thanks so much for having me. This week has been a little stressful for me with the album dropping but there’s also an enormous sense of relief.

For the past 3 months, I channeled my family drama, personal quarrels, and overall maturation process in the new album. I honestly thought I would go through as much as I have, now that I'm 21 years old. As oppose to the first album, which was crafted for me by the producers, I wrote about 90% of this album and am SO happy that the fans can finally get to see the real Brooke.

Fans have twittered me (@brookehogan), asking me if my relationship with my mom will ever be ok. To ALL my fans, I honestly don’t know. I know the Bible tells you to respect both your parents and I do to the fullest, but my mother has become a different person and I felt the need to tell her that in my song “Dear Mom.” Unfortunately, a phone call just doesn’t work sometimes.   Here is some of what the song says:

It's such a shame when someone you were born to love isn't that person anymorethis one's for youI love you,but you gotta change

When you said that you would never change,was it truedo it to save all we hadwould youhow could you give uphow could you do thatwhy did you leave meand when you come backspending all your time with himyou can't even see me

Selfish, what you ishow you mistreated your own kidshow could you do thatI know we don't talk nowhow could you turn your back on menow I'm walkin' out

cause I didn't do anything to hurt yougave you the best that I can and it's true

I gotta move on with out youI should've moved on from the pain that I feltbut I choose to love you, the sh*t that you had

it's better to live then love you.

But if your leavin' is that what you can do to your babyCause I'm gonna' love you no matter what you were sayin'how could you turn awayand forget those sunny daysbut were they the sunny daysor was it the game you played

Dressed up little doll, that you've torn, it's messed uphow can you be criticizing me when you f*cked upI never made you cryI never told a liethat's all you do to meso what is you right about

Was I the screw up and you were the best momI wasn't that perfect and you took the long roadthe road is reversingthe tables are turningI didn't deserve itbut thank god I'm learnin'

I can just imagine what you're doing...doing with your dayssmokin' all your cares away and having a play datetoo bad I found out what you were really aboutI know it's good to take but momma I gotta say

Get outta my waystressing me outmomma get outta my wayyou and your man can go live at your place(it's your life)it's all this sh*t I can't take

cause I didn't do anything to hurt youI gave you the best that I can and it's trueI gotta move on without youit's better to live then love you

My album release party is this Saturday so I’m gearing up for that but I’m so happy to join the GlobalGrind community! Thanks again and until next time ?

Xoxo,Brooke
