Lyrics

[Verse 1] I remember that first day When I first looked into your eyes Knew I loved you But your love for me took me by surprise And that's when our relationship began to develop through time There were times when we struggled but also knew we'd be fine You looked down at a dead bird and I remembered these words "How come we're born in the first place if all we do is just die?" I said "I don't know why, I guess it's just apart of life" We held each others hands and then walked home that same night If there was something we were going through Wouldn't give up without a fight And when my mind was in dark places You always showed me the light When I was on the verge of giving up You gave me a reason to try That's why you'll always mean the most to me No matter what goes on in our lives Every time that you'd cry I'd dry the tears out your eyes Hold you close to me and say that it'll all be alright Even if I was lying and I'm unsure if I'm right I know if it weren't for you I'd still be contemplating my life Cause... [Hook] You are... (4x) [Verse 2] First day of school I was holding your hand The world was much tougher than both of us could understand We were both very young and I was hardly a man Parents worried about us Wondering if I still had a plan Cause lately my bills have been consuming me just like quick sand You said "How you gonna support me if you can't support yourself?" But I should be paying more more attention to you And less to my wealth I just needed some guidance I just needed some help I needed someone who treated me better than I treated myself Nobody knows which hands are shitty until after they're dealt Cause in the game of life the rules will never stop giving you hell That's what I kept telling myself Know you have problems sometimes but I have problems as well And as we grew older Our age deteriorated our relationship's health But I still loved you even though you felt the opposite about me Even when you said you couldn't stand me and that you wanted to leave The words "I hate you" is what I heard you constantly repeat I tried to help you through life Tried to help you succeed Even if the response I got was nonsense I just wanted you to believe Cause... [Hook] [Verse 3] One very dark and rainy night is when we had our first severe fight Wanted to spend more time with other people that I just didn't like Remember the advice you'd take for granted is what you'd sarcastically recite You doubted me when I became unemployed and began to rely more on my mic Your decisions were wrong I was just tryna do what was right By taking my time and performing at shows every night Just barely making enough money for the both of us to survive Cause there was no denying we were both in the middle of some very harsh times "I can't take you anymore" Were the last words you said to me before you walked out the door Seems like no matter how much I try to do I always need to do more The moment you left my chest sunk to the floor Had a feeling you weren't the same person that I knew from before Wish we could find a way to end the fight and just settle the score But every time I try to call you I know your pushing "ignore" Nearly 6 years later and not a single call or a text Until one day you sent me something I couldn't believe I'd just read "Hey, lets meet up somewhere" is what your message had said That coffee shop we both had hated is where we ironically met The moment I saw you my heart almost beat outta my chest You asked "How come no matter what I did or said you still continued tried your best? You taught me which path was right but I took the left one instead, So why didn't you just give up on me and leave me for dead?" I said cause... [Hook] [Outro] My daughter...
