[Verse 1] I’ve watched you fall for years now pouring hope down the drain you chase your ghosts in bottles then cry out from the pain [Verse 2] you shut out those who love you and blame the world instead I’ve begged, I’ve cried, I’ve waited but I can’t raise the dead [Chorus 1] you made your bad choices across your long decades they're heavy on your shoulders like debts that won’t be paid [Verse 3] you vanish when it matters then call when you’re alone I’ll answer, yes - I always do but son, you’re grown [Bridge] cardboard cups and chocolate wrappers anchors weighed you say you’re ready now but only you can change [Chorus 2] you made your bad choices across your long decades I’ll walk beside you, if you move but I won’t drag your weight [Outro] I love you more than breathing but love can’t make you stand if you want a new tomorrow you’ve got to use your hands
