lyrics

Father to Mother

I’m in a house familiar feelings on the floor

This is my house there’s measured markings on the door

My son’s upstairs my wife is nowhere to be found

I pull my hair calm down, sit down, and down it

I go outside I feel the wind that’s on my face

I am outside deciding whether or not to chase

Don’t leave my side cause I will not give up this chase

Don’t leave my side Don’t leave my side

I know you aren’t I know you’re not better than this

I know that you’re not better than this you’ve been sleeping around

I gave you time oh yeah I patiently endured

Life gave you mine looking back that’s just absurd

Just come back home this will have never taken place

I’ve seen your eyes and they’ve been distant for days

I’ve heard you cry almost every single night

Just come back home Just come back home

I know you aren’t I know you’re not better than this

I know that you’re not better than this you’ve been sleeping around town

Take! Take! Take! All I have from me and

Burn! Burn! Burn! All the will that you see

Two hearts intertwined but a head that’s made for fools

I gave you love you gave me life without you
