Be Your Own Daddy

Once upon a time not long ago
People took responsibility
I know it sounds weird; I can't believe it myself
But it just might be what you need
Someone told me this years ago
And it's helped me in many ways
It sounds weird; it sounds strange
I don't care anyway
And I've been saying it every day
You gotta be your own daddy
You gotta be your own daddy
You gotta be your own daddy
Yeah you do
Losin' your job that you needed the most
And rent's comin' up next week
Now's not the time to sit and complain
It's time to get on your feet
"Son of a bitch if it happens again
I swear I'm gonna find a bridge"
You need to know that you're not alone
And you can try to do what I did
You gotta be your own daddy
You gotta be your own daddy
You gotta be your own daddy
Yeah you do
You gotta be your own daddy
You gotta be your own daddy
You gotta be your own daddy
Yeah you do
Sittin' here taking these photographs
So it looks like we're having fun
I can't stand livin' life through a tiny screen
It's a lot of what I've become
Take your time and embrace this life
Cause it's the only one that we've got
Live in the moment even when it's a pain
And smile until you drop
You gotta be your own daddy
You gotta be your own daddy
You gotta be your own daddy
Yeah you do
You gotta be your own daddy
You gotta be your own daddy
You gotta be your own daddy
Yeah you do

Forever Be Jaded

Laying down in a cozy bed
All of these things ring around in my head
There you are layin' next to me
Sleepin' as calm as can be
How could you live through this lack of my reason
I've been a mess for most of the season
I've done nothin' to change it
How have you stayed through the kickin' and screamin'
Can't have you go, and if you were leavin'
I would forever be jaded
Let me know you'll be home real soon
Not knowing what kind of monster will greet you
Unable to predict what kind of state my mind
Will be in
How could you live through this lack of my reason
I've been a mess for most of the season
I've done nothin' to change it
How have you stayed through the kickin' and screamin'
Can't have you go, and if you were leavin'
I would forever be jaded
So bizarre
So bizarre
I've been so bizarre
So bizarre
So bizarre
So bizarre
I've been so bizarre
So bizarre
Wish that I could hit reset
Make me the way I was when we first met
Find a cure for this damn disease
Or at least something' to give some relief

The Wringer

I wish there was another way to say that I love you
Wish there was another way to show you I care
But this lamp's been worn down by my fingers
I've let somethin' go so rare
I wish there was another way to say that I'm sorry
Wish there was another way, this pain wouldn't linger
But this lamp's been worn down by my fingers
I put you through the wringer
How could I have given up
Everything that I have wanted to much
I've put you through so many things
Girl I put you through the wringer
I wish there was another way to start all over
Wish there was another way to take back those tears
But this lamp's been worn down by my fingers
Girl I put you through the wringer
How could I have given up
Everything that I have wanted to much
I've put you through so many things
Girl I put you through the wringer

In Other Words
03:31
|

|
I can't stand my life, you don't understand me it's the worst
You have heard this said, maybe just in other words
I've been wrong my whole life of what an egotist has to be
Think only of yourself even in your misery
I realize that the world won't just stop to turn
When I am gone
And in the end, it all just keeps going on
And in the end, I think of myself too much
I realize that the world won't just stop to turn
When I am gone, ashes in the urn
I've been thinkin' about me mainly
I've been thinkin' of only what I want
Instead of thinkin' about you, baby
Thinkin' of only what I want
I've been thinkin' about me mainly
Thinkin' of only what I want
Instead of thinkin' about you, baby
Thinkin' of only what I want
Thinkin' of putting you in line
But I'm worried about what is mine
I've been thinkin' about me mainly
Thinkin' of only what I want
Instead of thinkin' about you baby
Thinkin' of only what I want

What You See In Me
03:26
|

|
I remember the first time that we met
You reached right out and took my hand
I don't have what you need from me
I can't give you what you need
I look inside and know the truth
You must be looking somewhere else
I don't see what you see in me
I just can't see what you see in me
Thought you would leave right from the start
But to this day I hold your heart
I locked the door you had the key
I don't see what you see in me
You make me feel okay with me
I don't see what you see in me
