[Intro] 2x
[Verse]
Got up and left without a warning.
A pregnant woman, on Easter morning.
You were never anything to miss.
Cause to me you did not exist.
But for that woman and that boy you left, I m saying this,
But for that woman and that boy you left, I m saying this.
[Chorus]
I ll wear the bright pink tie you wore that day
I ll make the promises you failed to make
I ll be the man you ll never be
And you won t be around to see
The man my Mother made of me
With love my Brother set me free
I ll be the man you ll never be
And you ll have no part of this family
Interlude: 2x
[Verse]
Your body s failing, heart is breaking
But you re too far gone now, you re not worth saving
You never put yourself aside, you just keep bringing seed to life
So I won t be at your bedside to watch you close your eyes and die
So I won t be at your bedside to hold your hand and say Goodbye
[Chorus]
I ll wear the bright pink tie you wore that day
I ll make the promises you failed to make
I ll be the man you ll never be
And you won t be around to see
The man my Mother made of me
With love my Brother set me free
I ll be the man you ll never be
And you ll have no part...
[Bridge]
No But I d make your proud
But No you re nowhere to be found
No Maybe you ll live it down
No The day that you skipped town.
[Interlude] 2x
[Chorus]
I ll wear the bright pink tie you wore that day
I ll make the promises you failed to make
I ll be the man you ll never be
And you won t be around to see
The man my Mother made of me
With love my Brother set me free
I ll be the man you ll never be
And you ll have no part of this family
