[Verse 1]
I said thanks to my mama
And thanks to my god
I’m faithful to loving, not the sign of the cross
For baking the bread when your life feels dead at a dead end
The husband a man you can’t live with
“You and I are supposed to be” disagreed were a catastrophe
“We’ll last through the years, it’s love it is” you’re missing t, n, and apostrophe
And I’m missing you it’s an anomaly
How I miss someone who’s close to me
And we’re living in monotony, and old story called you and me
When the bakery was burning, my mama said “It ain’t worth it
Just help and pull out the mattress” that’s true cause this just ain’t working
I still hope but I ain’t holding this still rope
Cause I ain’t crossing this big holе that’s wide and open
Won’t let go, that’s why I’m hoping so
I hopе one day I see you again
As nothing more than a friend
There’s nothing lost in the end, we’re just too young to pretend
Too immature to amend, too ignorant to listen
I wrote it on a letter that burned up before I sent it
[Pre - Chorus]
When’s the time to walk away
When can we accept the way
It just doesn’t feel the same
There’s nobody at fault to blame
[Chorus]
And I wonder
If discipline was all I needed
So I could give you one more reason
So I could save this ship from sinking
So when we’re dying and old it should be you I can hold
[Verse 2]
Everybody’s crying “daddy go home!”
I grew up in the dollar dome, a house trying to make amends
And not an all an affluent one, I learned that one from my mom
And she said I don’t give a damn if your dad never come home
That motherfucker never knew one thing about raising a house
He’s just an egomaniac who always opens his mouth
And for god’s sakes I’m 15 and I’m making ends meet
You ran away from home but one day you’ll have to take a seat
My mother’s brother stutters he struggles to even utter a mutter under his voice
Yet he’s still kinder a noise, man he ain’t ever annoy
I mean he is a better choice, and yes he throws around his toys but at least he doesn’t destroy as much as you
It ain’t war games so why’d you make it hard babe
A hard time’s hardly more awarding than an arcade and
Heartache I can take if my heart beats
I just wanna make love and make it
[Pre - Chorus]
When’s the time to walk away
When can we accept the way
It just doesn’t feel the same
There’s nobody at fault to blame
[Chorus]
And I wonder
If discipline was all I needed
So I could give you one more reason
So I could save this ship from sinking
So when we’re dying and old it should be you I can hold
("So it's not gonna be easy. It's gonna be really hard. We're gonna have to work at this every day, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, for ever, you and me, every day. Will you do something for me, please? Just picture your life for me? 30 years from now, 40 years from now? What's it look like? If it's with him, go. Go!")
[Bridge]
I’m saying thanks to my mama even after all the drama
I’m saying thanks to the lovers for getting through all your troubles
And I hope to see you again
As nothing more than a friend
I hope that this ain’t the end
Cause it’s too hard to pretend
That I’m not missing you girl
Cause man, I’m missing you girl
I cannot resist you girl
And now I’m missing my world
I love you with all of me
My soul and bones, flesh and meat
So don’t you go wondering
Cause time and time all again
[Chorus]
I wonder
If discipline was all I needed
So I could give you one more reason
So I could save this ship from sinking
So when we’re dying and old it should be you I can hold
So when it’s freezing and cold, it should be you I can hold
