Couldnt Keep by Tomis Reil Lyrics
Chorus:
Hey, how are you?
Where’ve you been
Hey, who are you, why’d you leave
Was I the son you couldn’t keep
Verse 1:
Hey there, it’s been a minute
Haven’t talked since I was 11
I remember when I was 7
I would never try and question
Any message you were sending
But after the age 11
Our bond had an ending
Act like you’re a dad to me
But you see
According to me
The way I see
You paid your fees
And let me be
And that’s called parenting
Thought you were so clean
Like listerine, You poured
Kerosene on everything
That was meant to be
As I sit in the booth
I face the truth
My love has poofed
Just For you, who’d knew
That half assing
Make you lose
Your own gene pool
Wait wait, everyone knew knew
That you couldn’t be cool cool
With this dude
We might have the same DNA
But we couldn’t be any further away
From making each other’s brand new day
But that’s okay, cause no matter what I say
I’m just the dumb kid, Who don’t know the way
And some days you might make an average day
A just okay day
Say I shouldn’t sit inside and game
Why not? It’s nice to have the reigns
Instead of being played
Damn it’s truly a shame
The males I look up to
And push me to be great
Live hundreds of miles away
And I know I’ll never meet
Them any time of day
But that’s okay
Cause either way
I’m going insane
Chorus:
Hey, how are you?
Where’ve you been
Hey, who are you, why’d you leave
Was I the son you couldn’t keep
Hey, how are you?
Where’ve you been
Hey, who are you, why’d you leave
Was I the son you couldn’t keep
