[Verse 1]

I saw you as my role model

A perfect image like no other

I guess every image has bent corners

Papercuts you gave like butter

I took the train when I left home

Your imprints still visible

The house we grew up in

Yet it feels so different

[Chorus]

The way you went away

Maybe I should do the same

The way you left me pain

Maybe I should do the same

Except, I won't be missed

Kiss of death lines the rims

I tried to do the same

I'm just not as great

[Verse 2]

Prescription in the stomach

Threw them down my gullet

Didn't go as scripted

How did you do it so perfect?

Always a step above

But now you're in the sun

Visits to your grave

I wish I was the same

[Chorus]

The way you went away

Maybe I should do the same

The way you left me pain

Maybe I should do the same

Except, I won't be missed

Kiss of death lines the rims

I tried to do the same

I'm just not as great

[Verse 3]

I remember what you told me

"Listen to your parents."

So I did what you told me

Why am I still living?

The candles with no light

The dogs with no bite

The dad with no wife

I'm no longer the sun of your sky
