You a should song write where the concept is, |
| [00:03.930] |
You're basically writing like a love letter, or like a piece of advice |
| [00:08.980] |
To your mother, when she was your age |
| [00:14.420] |
I don't know |
| [00:16.220] |
Maybe I would write you a happy ending |
| [00:18.780] |
I would rearrange the pieces to your sad beginning |
| [00:22.040] |
I would put you far away from the decaying roots that bore you |
| [00:26.210] |
And let you experience all the ways that happiness |
| [00:29.520] |
could bloom before you |
| [00:31.570] |
Or maybe I'm nave, |
| [00:34.210] |
Maybe I'm just a kid who thought that if she could plant a seed |
| [00:37.060] |
It would somehow grow inside you |
| [00:38.890] |
Spent so much of my time wishing you were different |
| [00:41.180] |
But reality is that, where life could never be provisioned |
| [00:43.870] |
But if I could wish for one thing, I'd go back and I'd fix it |
| [00:46.510] |
I'd tackle all your obstacles and kill them with precision |
| [00:49.270] |
And better the intentions of every single person |
| [00:51.920] |
Who play a part in you learning exactly what your worth is |
| [00:54.720] |
I'd shower you with purpose, I'd wipe hate off the surface |
| [00:57.470] |
I'd reshape all your pain and make it worth itfucking |
| [01:00.670] |
No more feeling worthless, no more fucking searching |
| [01:03.000] |
No more of that fraud shit, nobody else could hurt you |
| [01:05.700] |
Yeah, said nobody else could hurt you |
| [01:08.650] |
And if they ever tried too I'd wipe 'em from the Earth too |
| [01:11.300] |
Cuz I know that you hurting baby, I know that you tired too |
| [01:14.040] |
I know that you been running from everything that's behind you |
| [01:16.690] |
I know that you've been burying everything deep inside you |
| [01:19.390] |
I can see it killing you, wish that I could revive you |
| [01:22.280] |
But I'm stuck sitting in this time frame |
| [01:24.930] |
Struggling with my demons and playing these stupid mind game |
| [01:27.590] |
One day it could get better, maybe it could get better |
| [01:30.330] |
Maybe we could change shit, no more inclement weather |
| [01:33.080] |
Know you hated your mom, know it went through your mind |
| [01:35.770] |
You were just like me, wish that you had more time |
| [01:38.520] |
To see life from a different angle, wrestle with a different angel |
| [01:41.380] |
Wouldn't lose your wings and fall from heaven like a cliffhanger |
| [01:44.270] |
Everything is different now, nothing is the same |
| [01:46.510] |
And nowadays I swear it feels like you don't know my name |
| [01:49.370] |
But I look at the mirror and I see you every day |
| [01:52.010] |
I'm you in every way, every hue and every shade |
| [01:54.820] |
And maybe you should know, it's the last thing that I wanted |
| [01:57.560] |
Cuz what I hate about you makes me feel like I'm haunted |
| [02:00.210] |
And I don't wanna spend the rest of my time on the run and- |
| [02:02.860] |
So I'm just gonna confront it, yeah I'm just gonna confront it |
| [02:05.660] |
And tell you I love that you for everything you made me |
| [02:08.970] |
And that you need to hear this even if it makes you angry |
| [02:11.160] |
God lives inside you, you've already found him |
| [02:13.850] |
The Devil lives in memories and you just let him hound you |
| [02:16.560] |
And I despise your church for every fucking thing taught youthey |
| [02:19.500] |
It's just a fucking stain that I wish I could wipe off you |
| [02:22.060] |
That I wish I could wipe off you |
| [02:24.900] |
And I forgive you for doing everything that it cost you |
| [02:28.870] |
Everything that it cost you |
| [02:30.300] |
Fame is such a heavy price I wish it didn't cost you |
| [02:33.240] |
Losing a part of me that would follow you to Hell |
| [02:35.790] |
Follow you to hatred, or follow you to jail |
| [02:38.430] |
Followed you to patterns that I could never get out of |
| [02:40.880] |
Now I realize that I could never make it with that love |
| [02:44.080] |
Now I realize that shit is the alternative outcome |
| [02:46.610] |
Never wanted you to save me, I just wish I count some |
| [02:49.360] |
I just wish that you grew up with someone you could count on |
| [02:52.060] |
I just wish you knew that you could never make it without love |
| [02:54.800] |
For your goddamn self, and that you never ever find it in anybody else |
| [03:00.100] |
Cuz I would help you find you |
| [03:03.090] |
And if I saw it killing you I swear I would revive you |
| [03:07.010] |
And if that meant the end of me |
| [03:08.750] |
I'd do it all for you so you could have your happy end and peace |
| [03:12.620] |
Because, you are such a special thing |
| [03:15.310] |
You're not just my mom, but you're the reason I exist |
| [03:18.720] |
And the best life that you could've had for yourself |
| [03:22.040] |
without making a mistake |
| [03:23.470] |
Would have meant I woulda had a nicer childhood |
| [03:25.510] |
And even though my childhood wasn't perfect and I still love you |
| [03:28.710] |
I just want to know you that if I could go back do one thing for you |
| [03:34.920] |
I would be person for one you |
| [03:37.510] |
I would make sure, not just for my sake, but so that |
| [03:38.640] |
you could've had a nicer life |
| [03:39.150] |
And a nicer childhood, that you know |
| [03:41.430] |
You would not have made the mistakes that put us all |
| [03:43.570] |
in this bad situation |
| [03:44.890] |
And not have the stress to leave |
| [03:46.630] |
But just so that you would have been happier and stronger |
| [03:49.830] |
Even if I didn't exist, even it meant that I was never born |
| [03:53.310] |
That's what I would have wanted for you |
| [03:55.640] |
Yeah, and if that meant the end of me |
| [03:57.740] |
I'd do it all for you so you could have your happy ending |
| [04:00.330] |
Cuz I know that you hurting baby, I know that you tired too |
| [04:03.140] |
I know you've been running from everything that's behind you |
| [04:05.730] |
I know that you've been burying everything deep inside you |
| [04:08.490] |
I can see it killing you, wish that I could revive you |
| [04:11.580] |
And if that meant the end of me |
| [04:14.030] |
I'd do it all for you so you could have your happy ending |
| [04:18.060] |
And if that meant the end of me |
| [04:19.590] |
I'd do it all for you so you could have your happy ending |
| [04:23.910] |
And if that meant the end of me |
| [04:25.080] |
I'd do it all for you so you could have your happy ending |
| [04:28.940] |
I don't know |
| [04:32.550] |
Maybe I would write you a happy ending |
| [04:35.040] |
I would rearrange the pieces to your sad beginning |
| [04:37.630] |
I would put you far away from the decaying roots that bore you |
| [04:42.460] |
And let you experience all the ways that happiness |
| [04:45.780] |
could bloom before you |
| [04:47.910] |
Or maybe I'm nave, |
| [04:49.940] |
Maybe I'm just a kid who thought that if she could plant a seed |
| [04:53.760] |
It would somehow grow inside you |
| [04:55.590] |
And that I could hide you from the rain |
| [04:57.420] |
So that it could be easier for happiness to find you |
| [05:01.750] |
Or still a maybe kid I'm who's caught in a dream |
| [05:05.150] |
I'm the heir to the throne of a princess |
| [05:07.240] |
who's still trying to be queen |
| [05:10.340] |
Or maybe we're all just caught in the a massacrewinds of |
| [05:14.210] |
The blackened leaves of dying, black dahlias |
