[Intro] Alright every body!!!!! Settle down now,Settle down. this ones about a friend of mine who took his life recently. this ones called I Dont Want You!!!!!!! [Verse 1] She stopped picking up my calls When I was drowning in the night Three years old and little shoes Waiting by the screen so bright I was running shady roads Just to feed the fire in me Gun in the waistband, empty soul And a life I couldn’t keep [Pre-Chorus] So I rode that Harley over To the house I used to know Hot air hanging on the porch And my shame was running low [Chorus] I don’t want you I don’t want you Those little words cut clean I don’t want you I don’t want you That’s what my boy saw in me [Verse 2] She opened up the door And there he was, my son He lit up like a front porch spark And ran for me in one But she held him back from me Said, “You can talk from there” She saw the signs, she saw the lie Written all over air I tried to ask about his day She cut me down in front of him Child support and all my faults Every word felt sharp and thin [Pre-Chorus] I said, “Baby, let me stay a minute It’s hotter than hell out here” She took my boy to get some water Like that was all that I could bear [Chorus] I don’t want you I don’t want you Those little words cut clean I don’t want you I don’t want you That’s what my boy saw in me [Bridge] She came back with the glass of water Said, “Drink up, then you can go” I tried to swallow all my anger But it rose up fast and slow One bad word and I lost it Water flew and hit her face The gun slipped hard from my waistband And time fell out of place My boy screamed from the doorway Thinking I came back to hurt But I never meant a damn thing I just felt too far from worth [Chorus] I don’t want you I don’t want you Those little words cut clean I don’t want you I don’t want you That’s what my boy saw in me [Outro] Later on, when night got quiet Those words came back like sin I don’t want you I don’t want you And I never heard my son again
