[Verse 1: Tyler Carter]
Hopeless, just a kid with a craving
To make memories with my father
It's taken a lifetime to chase 'em
That's why I seem to reserve this space in my head
For the grudges of all the nights you didn't tuck us into bed
Never showing up to my games
Never taking us to arcades
Seems like nothing has changed
When you don't show up for my shows
But straight up wait 'til the day of
To tell me that you can't make it
So I hit the stage and it's raining
I'm a man, no thanks to you, Dad

[Pre-Chorus: Michael Bohn]
You're so quick to move on
What about the ones you left behind?
How am I supposed to be strong
When you're the weak one?

[Chorus: Tyler Carter]
I've had so much I could say to you
But you'll never get the chance to know me
It's all I've ever asked for
And I've had this craving to be close to you
But you'll never get the chance to know me
It's all I've asked for
[Verse 2: Tyler Carter; Michael Bohn]
Selfless, a mother who wouldn't eat
Just so we could have the money to keep up the same routines
She got a new job, and a new house
And a new life and a new love
So next time you call, we probably won't pick up, no
I see visions of a perfect family
And what the fuck that even means
Then I see the way you sacrifice everything
For everyone except me

[Pre-Chorus: Michael Bohn]
You're so quick to move on
What about the ones you left behind?
How am I supposed to be strong
You're the weak one?

[Chorus: Tyler Carter]
I've had so much I could say to you
But you'll never get the chance to know me
It's all I've ever asked for
And I've had this craving to be close to you
But you'll never get the chance to know me
It's all I've asked for

[Bridge: Tyler Carter]
Tell me 'bout how you're so damn proud
I know you love me, but you gotta leave now
Nah, you don't care about us
Tell me how the hell you sleep at night
I hope your new life is worth the sacrifice
You don't care bout us
But I know someone who does
I know someone who does
[Chorus: Tyler Carter]
I have so much I could say to you
But you'll never get the chance to know me
It's all I've ever asked for
And I've had this craving to be close to you
But you'll never get the chance to know me
It's all I've asked for

[Outro: Michael Bohn; Tyler Carter]
But I know someone who does
But I know someone who does
Got a new job, and a new house
And a new life and a new love
Got a new house, and a new job
And a new life and a new love
Got a new love, new love
New love, new love, oh-oh
