Fathers

(album: Thank God, There Are Hundreds of Ways To Kill Enemies - 2020)

Once I thought I'd die alone
No one cares about a tiny stone
Cheap sex, nothing out of love
Drinking shots to have a good laugh

It's not pessimistic
I am just realistic
I kind of enjoyed that or rather
I didn't want more than I already had

That was me before you came to me
That was me, I used to be
That was me before you came to me
Not today
No, no, not today

Once I thought I'd never have kids
Because I didn't know what father's love is
And I looked out for number one
Everything changes when you have a son

Do you think I was selfish?
I was just realistic
Like I told you before
I didn't want more than I already had

That was me before you came to me
That was me, I used to be
That was me before you came to me
Not today
Not today

I wasn't wrong
I wasn't right
I was just searching for a tiny light
I think it was you

If I could stop the time
And stand by your side
But I gotta keep moving on
Hope you don't feel alone
Stop crying
I'm always thinking of you
Sorry I kept you waiting
Your daddy is coming home, home

Remember this song even when I'm gone, gone
Even when I'm gone, stay strong
Because your life will go on
