Words of Gratitude (Parents)
I still recall the time when I was 17
The officer who warned you both about me
And in the years before
I knew you'd seen it, too
The warning signs were scars of future rescue
Tell her later
The words of gratitude escape me
The shit I put you through"¦I wish that I could take it back
Was I ever hard to love?
My life is owed to you
This all is tribute
Father if you are the one the apple fell so close to
I understand the things you did
What's going wrong?
And who else is to blame?
"Our son is gone. Our son is gone!"
Never thought I'd want to
Tell her later
The words of gratitude escape me
The shit I put you through"¦I wish that I could take it back
Was I ever hard to love?
My life is owed to you
This all is tribute
How did you get any sleep at night?
Tell her later
Tell her later
What did I put you through?
I wish that I could take it back
Was I ever hard to love?
My life is owed to you
This all is tribute
I wish that I could take it back
I wish that I could take it back
I wish that I could take it back
Was I ever hard to love?
