lyrics

Listen to me well
The story of a boy who fell
Tried so hard to please
Spends all of his time on his knees
Guess he doesn’t know
What to do with past trauma
Carries it around
Waiting for relief that’s never found

But I’m not gonna beg for him to find
Answers that he’ll simply push aside
Teach him how to read between the lines
Lessons that he learned then left behind


Cause I won’t be the dad
I’m old enough but did I ask for that
I simply don’t believe that I’d have the strength in me
Cause I’ve got things to do
Like window shopping for new shoes
And though I’ll never buy
I need to see them first to clear my mind

Cause you need to be praised, and plucked, and held
And I need to be dined, then fucked, then left
And this is why it’s wrong for us to try
Starting something with an end in sight
