Your mother came up to me
She wanted answers only she should know
Only she should know
It wasn't easy to deal
With the tears that rolled down her face
I have no answers cause
I didn't even know you
But these words
They can't replace
The life you
The life you waste
How could you paint this picture
Was life as bad as it should seem
That there were no more options for you
I can't explain how I feel
I've been there many times before
I've tasted the cold steel of my life crashing down before me
But these words
They can't replace
The life you
The life you waste
Did daddy not love you
Or did he love you just too much
Did he control you
Did he live through you at your cost
Did he leave no questions for you
To answer on your own
Well that
And her
And him
And you
For not having the strength
In your heart
To pull through
I've had doubts
I have failed
I've ed up
I've had plans
Doesn't mean
I should take
My life
With my own hands
But these words
They can't replace
The life you
The life you waste
But these words
They don't replace
The life you
The life you waste
