[Verse 1: Tyler Carter]

Hopeless, just a kid with a craving

To make memories with my father

It's taken a lifetime to chase 'em

That's why I seem to reserve this space in my head

For the grudges of all the nights you didn't tuck us into bed

Never showing up to my games

Never taking us to arcades

Seems like nothing has changed

When you don't show up for my shows

But straight up wait 'til the day of

To tell me that you can't make it

So I hit the stage and it's raining

I'm a man, no thanks to you, Dad


[Pre-Chorus: Michael Bohn]

You're so quick to move on

What about the ones you left behind?

How am I supposed to be strong

When you're the weak one?


[Chorus: Tyler Carter]

I've had so much I could say to you

But you'll never get the chance to know me

It's all I've ever asked for

And I've had this craving to be close to you

But you'll never get the chance to know me

It's all I've asked for

[Verse 2: Tyler Carter; Michael Bohn]

Selfless, a mother who wouldn't eat

Just so we could have the money to keep up the same routines

She got a new job, and a new house

And a new life and a new love

So next time you call, we probably won't pick up, no

I see visions of a perfect family

And what the fuck that even means

Then I see the way you sacrifice everything

For everyone except me


[Pre-Chorus: Michael Bohn]

You're so quick to move on

What about the ones you left behind?

How am I supposed to be strong

You're the weak one?


[Chorus: Tyler Carter]

I've had so much I could say to you

But you'll never get the chance to know me

It's all I've ever asked for

And I've had this craving to be close to you

But you'll never get the chance to know me

It's all I've asked for


[Bridge: Tyler Carter]

Tell me 'bout how you're so damn proud

I know you love me, but you gotta leave now

Nah, you don't care about us

Tell me how the hell you sleep at night

I hope your new life is worth the sacrifice

You don't care bout us

But I know someone who does

I know someone who does


[Chorus: Tyler Carter]

I have so much I could say to you

But you'll never get the chance to know me

It's all I've ever asked for

And I've had this craving to be close to you

But you'll never get the chance to know me

It's all I've asked for

[Outro: Michael Bohn; Tyler Carter]

But I know someone who does

But I know someone who does

Got a new job, and a new house

And a new life and a new love

Got a new house, and a new job

And a new life and a new love

Got a new love, new love

New love, new love, oh-oh
