LYRICS:

There's a reason why I never drank a double shot martini, slightly dirty.
I stop breathing when I'm getting close to diagnosing what I already know.
I could never ask for help,
Thought I should just hate myself.
I got a feeling if I leave in the morning all of my demons are coming for me.

I try so hard to think I'm not my father,
I forget about what makes me who I am.
I try so hard to think I'm not a goner,
Mm, but I'm still here where it began.

What we had was a lie,
But I wouldn't take it back.
What we could have had if you tried,
But we couldn't make it last.

I've been keeping on with the music so if he's out there maybe he might hear it.
I've been seeing every single movie from the one with George Clooney.
"What are you doing?" he said back in 2010,
Back of the theater his face was red,
But I don't ever wanna' change a thing that made me stand on my own two feet.

I try so hard to think I'm not my father,
I forget about what makes me who I am.
I try so hard to think I'm not a goner,
Oh, but I'm still here where it began.

What we had was a lie,
But I wouldn't take it back.
What we could have had if you tried,
But we couldn't make it last.

It's okay to cry, it's okay to laugh.
It's okay to be happy when I'm told I'm supposed to be sad.
I don't miss the fights, when it got bad,
No I don't miss a single thing about my old man,

But what we had,
And I wouldn't take it back.
What we could have had if you tried,
But we couldn't make it last.

This song has been on repeat for me since it came out. I've never heard you music before, but the YouTube algorithm found this for me. It hits like a semi-truck, but I think the crying is helping me through some stuff. Thank you. <3

I have amazing relation with my father but still this song hit me hard...what a lyrics and composition...more power to you man !

[DRMrThi]

Right in the feelings, reminds me when I was a kid and seeing all my friends had a great and supportive dads and mine was a nightmare every time I got home, thinking my father was broken. Now as an adult I understand that part of that experience was what made me a person I am now and all close friends, family and myself are proud
