parents

[soft percussive acoustic intro] [verse] I'm not that close to my parents They're unaware if I'm doing alright I joke about life as a child I force a smile when someone asks why? [Chorus] But now I’m older, can’t seem to cry And I can’t call them when I wanna die Scared to have kids who have my dads eyes Cause they’d look at me like he did all my life You can’t choose your parents But I’m better off without mine [Verse] Some days are harder than others Thank god for my mother on that day in June I’m cautious of history repeating Cause sometimes I see him in things that I do [Chorus] I hate that I wonder what I’d be like If he’d let me live cause I barely survived Scared to have kids who have my dads eyes Cause they’d look at me like he did all my life You can’t choose your parents But I’m better off without mine [Bridge] Without mine What would I be like Without mine wondered my whole life Without mine What would I be like Without mine I keep asking why You can’t choose your parents But I’m better off without mine [soft piano ballad outro]
