DUCKWRTH
Permanent Vacation
[Intro]
I'm a victim of sweet nothings
Gas and all, irrational
You really drive me up the wall
I got ocean eyes, Niagara Falls
You know I hate the way you like to lie to me
Sugarcoat your words, you must have cavities
When it rains, it pours
Yeah, thunderstorms
What is your nature?
My love (My daddy said)
[Chorus]
My daddy said he was on permanent vacation
And he said he's never coming back, huh
Hawaiian shirts and some side relations
I don't know how I'm supposed to deal with that
[Post-Chorus]
Eight years old (Eight) watching grown men lie
Twenty years later and you still don't reply
Ooh
Ooh, yeah
[Verse 1]
Papa used to call it a generational curse, probably made it worse
Just a bad excuse to chase a mini skirt, sneaking off with hoes, Mama off at work
Wasn't just a flirt, you was doing dirt, playing in the mud, forgot it stained your shirt
Shoved the knife in me, and said it shouldn't hurt, damn (Damn)
I am just an apple falling off the tree
You picked me from the ground and took a bite of me
You bit into me deep and cut an artery
I wonder if this is how it's supposed to be?
[Interlude]
You don't even know
I'm not—
I'm not even gonna get into it, damn
[Chorus]
My daddy said he was on permanent vacation
And he said he's never coming back, huh
Hawaiian shirts and some side relations
I don't know how I'm supposed to deal with that
[Verse 2]
Hold up, I'ma just fast forward time
It's just me and mines, it's that demon hour, 11:59
Sipping out the bottle, pinot was the wine
Think about this girl I met Tinder, huh
Start to tap them digits, I was so relentless
What I didn't mention, that I was committed
Soft monogamy, so pussy's not permitted
'Less it's her permission, that was her position
Side relations, yeah, I probably should have mentioned
Did the unthinkable, Lord forgive 'em
Start to think about my dad and my position
I can't talk no shit 'cause I don't see no difference
What he did is what I'm doing (Phew)
Fuckboy language, speak it fluent (Phew)
Walk the path, that's if the shoe fit (Ooh)
And here's the truth, I'm just like you
[Chorus]
My daddy said he was on permanent vacation
And he said he's never coming back, huh
Hawaiian shirts and some side relations
I don't know how I'm supposed to deal with that
[Post-Chorus]
Eight years old (Eight) watching grown men lie
Twenty years later and you still don't reply
Ooh
Ooh
[Outro]
I thought you loved me
You said (You said, you said, you said)
You cared about me
I let you in
I trusted you
And this is how you thank me?
You know what? I can't
I'm done, I'm through
It's over
Goodbye
