lyrics

I don’t think it’s funny how at fifty I still live like twenty-five
All the poison I put inside over time has crept outside
Now I find my face is full of lines
Just like the ones that I cut to clear my mind

I’ll take another drag from my cigarette
I’d do it all again if I didn’t have to bear the regret
I know it’s only cards
But I thought I’d never deal again
Tear me down
I barely know my father
My kids can hardly trust their own

You could call me sober but if sober means forever nevermind
Full disclosure; I was only fully sober for a time
Now I find my past is rife with lies
So much so that I…I’m lying to myself

I’ll take another drag from my cigarette
I’d do it all again if I didn’t have to bear the regret
I know it’s only cards
But I thought I’d never deal again
Tear me down
I barely know my father
My kids can hardly trust their own

Hey dad, don’t be so hard on yourself
Despite the worst, you were always there for the both of us

I’ll take another drag from my cigarette
I’d do it all again if I didn’t have to bear the regret
I know it’s only cards
But I thought I’d never deal again
Tear me down
I barely know my father
My kids can hardly trust their own
