[Intro]
I'm not really used to this shit, but um
I'ma just do it
I hope my mama would like this song
[Verse 1]
Man, how you doin? I'm good
Don't ask about me, I'm good
I organized all my distant memories.
All that's left is your last name
Should I at least smoke a cigarette to shake it off?
This long, long reality
Even in the difficult moments of life
your face on my face
[Verse 2]
So what's right for me and what's wrong?
There's no way to know
I’m the only daughter who grew up a little early
The support of a girlish mother
Homeroom teacher, the lady next door
Who else was there, Grandfather?
It wasn't warm
Who wasn't there in my childhood?
Man, I don’t blame you
You probably had your own reasons.
I don't blame you
There must have been an adult reason why I couldn't avoid it.
I don't blame you
Yes, I don't blame you
Then you don't have to blame me
To me, you're just a guy I don't know, huh
[Pre-Chorus]
Papa, where you goin'?
I don't feel much love
Mama, why you cryin'?
Damn, I really don’t know
[Chorus]
Left my mommy all for you
I didn't even get to choose
without knowing anything
I'm just staring blankly at the fallen pieces
Left my mommy all for you
I didn't even get to choose
without knowing anything
I'm just staring blankly at the fallen pieces
[Verse 3]
Back to 2011
house of three women
He was the only male adult
During my grandfather's funeral
A visit from a strange man somewhere
Instead of being called dad
I hid behind my mom's legs and asked
Do I need to go with him?
What should I do, I don't want to go with him nowhere
The junk food I normally couldn’t eat was bought for me to break the awkward silence.
After taking a bite
When I was younger, I asked, can you buy me just one more thing?
To you who said it was natural with a lonely smile
If I knew it was the last time, I would have told you
You don't have to do this
[Pre-Chorus]
Papa, where you goin'?
I don't feel much love
Mama, why you cryin'?
Damn, I really don’t know, shit
[Chorus]
Left my mommy all for you
I didn't even get to choose
without knowing anything
I'm just staring blankly at the fallen pieces
Left my mommy all for you
I didn't even get to choose
without knowing anything
I'm just staring blankly at the fallen pieces
[Outro]
Left my mommy all for you
I didn't even get to choose
without knowing anything
I'm just staring blankly at the fallen pieces
Bye, bye
