To make memories with my father
It’s taken a lifetime to chase 'em
That’s why I seem to reserve this space in my head
For the grudges of all the nights you didn’t tuck us into bed
Never showing up to my games
Never taking us to arcades
Seems like nothing has changed
When you don’t show up for my shows
But straight up wait till the day of
To tell me that you can’t make it
So I hit the stage and it’s raining
I’m a man no thanks to you Dad
You’re so quick to move on
What about the ones you left behind
How am I supposed to be strong
When you’re the weak one
I’ve had so much I could say to you
But you’ll never get the chance to know me
It’s all I’ve ever asked for
I’ve had this craving to be close to you
But you’ll never get the chance to know me
It’s all I’ve asked for
Selfless, a mother who wouldn’t eat
Just so we could have the money to keep up the same routines
She got a new job, and a new house, and a new life, and a new love
So next time you call we probably won’t pick up no
I see visions of a perfect family
And what the fuck that even means
Then I see the way you sacrifice
Everything for everyone except me
You’re so quick to move on
What about the ones you left behind
How am I supposed to be strong
You’re the weak one
I’ve had so much I could say to you
But you’ll never get the chance to know me
It’s all I’ve ever asked for
I’ve had this craving to be close to you
But you’ll never get the chance to know me
It’s all I’ve asked for
Tell me bout how
You’re so damn proud
I know you love me
But you gotta leave now
Nah, you don’t care about us
Tell me how the hell you sleep at night
I hope your new life is worth the sacrifice
You don’t care bout us
But I know someone who does
I know someone who does
I have so much I could say to you
But you’ll never get the chance to know me
It’s all I’ve ever asked for
I’ve had this craving to be close to you
But you’ll never get the chance to know me
It’s all I’ve asked for
Hopeless, just a kid with a craving To make memories with my father It’s taken a lifetime to chase 'em That’s why I seem to reserve this space in my head For the grudges of all the nights you didn’t tuck us into bed Never showing up to my games Never taking us to arcades Seems like nothing has changed When you don’t show up for my shows But straight up wait till the day of To tell me that you can’t make it So I hit the stage and it’s raining I’m a man no thanks to you Dad You’re so quick to move on What about the ones you left behind How am I supposed to be strong When you’re the weak one I’ve had so much I could say to you But you’ll never get the chance to know me It’s all I’ve ever asked for I’ve had this craving to be close to you But you’ll never get the chance to know me It’s all I’ve asked for Selfless, a mother who wouldn’t eat Just so we could have the money to keep up the same routines She got a new job, and a new house, and a new life, and a new love So next time you call we probably won’t pick up no I see visions of a perfect family And what the fuck that even means Then I see the way you sacrifice Everything for everyone except me You’re so quick to move on What about the ones you left behind How am I supposed to be strong You’re the weak one I’ve had so much I could say to you But you’ll never get the chance to know me It’s all I’ve ever asked for I’ve had this craving to be close to you But you’ll never get the chance to know me It’s all I’ve asked for Tell me bout how You’re so damn proud I know you love me But you gotta leave now Nah, you don’t care about us Tell me how the hell you sleep at night I hope your new life is worth the sacrifice You don’t care bout us But I know someone who does I know someone who does I have so much I could say to you But you’ll never get the chance to know me It’s all I’ve ever asked for I’ve had this craving to be close to you But you’ll never get the chance to know me It’s all I’ve asked for Explain Request ×
