-Intro |
| [00:21] |
Son? |
| [00:22] |
Son, sit down |
| [00:23] |
What? |
| [00:24] |
-Chorus |
| [00:25] |
When you're lying in bed with nothing but your thoughts, love |
| [00:29] |
(Thoughts love, thoughts love) |
| [00:31] |
When you're lying in bed with nothing but your fears, love |
| [00:34] |
Yeah (Fears, love) |
| [00:36] |
I won't be here, love |
| [00:37] |
-Verse 1 |
| [00:38] |
When his Mom got cancer, he asked the doctor |
| [00:41] |
"Can you fix her?" |
| [00:42] |
He answered, "I don't think that I can, sir" |
| [00:44] |
Nah,no way, Mom's never sick, Mom never smoked |
| [00:47] |
Mom is the healthy one |
| [00:48] |
All you doctors and nurses, y'all can't tell me nothing |
| [00:50] |
(Let me know) |
| [00:51] |
She passed a month after the chemo started |
| [00:53] |
His friends and family shed their tears for their dearly departed |
| [01:01] |
It's like the mind's a flawed design, he thought |
| [01:04] |
He asked his dad, "Why can't they cure disease?" |
| [01:07] |
He said, "Son, maybe when they find a cure for greed." |
| [01:10] |
He's having flashbacks to the birthday cakes she made him |
| [01:12] |
How she looked so proud and celebrated after he graduated |
| [01:18] |
And when he did, and they separated |
| [01:20] |
She helped him with his kids and raised them |
| [01:22] |
Appreciate it, wish she was here when he said it |
| [01:25] |
Never knew how hard that death is, but gotta learn to accept it |
| [01:28] |
When you're lying in bed with nothing but your thoughts, love |
| [01:33] |
Do you really want me, love? |
| [01:35] |
Lying in bed with nothing but your fears, love(lying in bed) |
| [00:25] |
-Bridge |
| [01:41] |
I-I-I-I-I-I-I(We go.) |
| [01:44] |
I been looking for you, looking for the lies |
| [01:53] |
He was searching for some work, referred to the reserves |
| [02:00] |
His wife worried, crying, when she hugged him and said goodbye(Bye my love) |
| [02:13] |
Bombs dropped, dead children, war crimes and war cries |
| [02:17] |
Sent home when he almost died from a car bomb and a suicide |
| [02:22] |
but Daddy ain't the same, can't adjust back to his normal life |
| [02:25] |
Cause right now it don't seem important compared to the war and little things like paying bills being a father, he ignored 'em |
| [02:31] |
He asked the doctor help him, Xanax for depression(Xanax for depression) |
| [02:38] |
Got addicted, doctor knew it and he cut off his prescription(Nah, nah, no one) |
| [03:00] |
Does it really bug you, love? |
| [03:01] |
Do you really want me, love? |
| [03:03] |
Lying in bed with nothing but your fears, love(lying in bed) |
| [03:09] |
-Bridge |
| [03:12] |
I been looking for you, looking for the lies |
| [03:18] |
Let me know, let me know, let me know, let me know |
| [03:22] |
-Outro |
| [03:32] |
Let me know, let me know, let me know(Oh oh oh oh), let me know |
| [03:35] |
He was shocked and in denial |
| [03:36] |
Pain and the guilt |
| [03:38] |
Anger and the bugging and reflecting on himself |
| [03:41] |
Depression was setting in |
| [00:00][04:00] |
|
| [00:57.5] |
Losing his mother, man, that never crossed his mind |
| [00:59.5] |
Figured they still had lots of time |
| [01:03.5] |
(Let me know) |
| [01:14.5] |
When she told him, "Don't you marry that lying girl I know you're dating" |
| [01:27.5] |
-Chorus |
| [01:31.5] |
Does it really bug you, love? |
| [01:37.5] |
Don't shed the tears, love |
| [01:39.5] |
I won't be here, love |
| [01:47.5] |
I-I-I-I-I-I-I(okay) |
| [01:50.5] |
Let me know, let me know, let me know, let me know |
| [01:52.8] |
-Verse 2 |
| [01:56.5] |
Took it further, got deployed to serve his country undeterred |
| [02:03.5] |
Told his kids he had to leave, but they never understood why, no |
| [02:05.5] |
(Let me know)No |
| [02:07.5] |
Active duty overseas, see some things he'd rather not remember |
| [02:11.5] |
Friends body parts dismembered |
| [02:20.5] |
Family's just happy he's still alive(Oh oh oh oh) |
| [02:21.5] |
(Daddy) |
| [02:34.5] |
That just numbed him temporarily, more reclusive, less aggressive |
| [02:40.5] |
Couldn't take it, started stealing, hit the streets to get his fixing |
| [02:43.5] |
His wife couldn't forgive him, she tried, (Get out!)but had to kick him out |
| [02:47.5] |
Now he panhandles on Yonge Street with a in front of Subway |
| [02:49.5] |
With a sign that says, "Can't you spare change for a veteran?" |
| [02:53.5] |
His wife would change it in a second, but she can't |
| [02:55.5] |
And she accepts it |
| [02:55.8] |
-Chorus |
| [02:56.5] |
When you're lying in bed with nothing but your thoughts, love(nothing but your thoughts) |
| [03:06.5] |
Don't shed the tears, love |
| [03:07.9] |
I won't be here, love |
| [03:09.5] |
I-I-I-I-I-I-I |
| [03:16.5] |
I-I-I-I-I-I-I |
| [03:24.5] |
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh(let me know), oh oh oh oh |
| [03:42.5] |
He's finally accepting it |
| [03:44.5] |
Just trying to make it through the stages of grief |
