🇺🇸 They Were My World

Lyrics: Caronte 2025 Youtube: Inoxidables Podcast Podcast go.ivoox.com/sq/2330386 Back when I was just a boy, I had it all, Daddy was a giant, never seen him fall, Mama was a queen, beauty shining bright, In the kitchen, cookin’ meals that tasted just right. I was carefree, just runnin' from school to play, Had no worries ‘bout the world that would come my way. My father, my friend, like a god in my eyes, And mama, sweet mama, made the stars in the skies. Oh, I thought they were perfect, yeah, I thought they were the best, Couldn’t see the cracks hidden under their chest, Now I know the truth, it ain't no disguise, They were my world, and I never realized. Then I grew up, got my guitar in hand, Saw my daddy’s flaws, like a regular man, Mama was upset, tired of his late-night bars, But they both gave me love, no matter how far. I left home, went chasin’ dreams on the run, Didn’t know I was losin' all that I had begun. My father just a man, not the king that I thought, And mama’s gentle touch was all I ever sought. Oh, I thought they were perfect, yeah, I thought they were the best, Couldn’t see the cracks hidden under their chest, Now I know the truth, it ain't no disguise, They were my world, and I never realized. Now the years have passed, and I’m here on my own, I hear their voices, but the house feels alone. I’d give anything just to see them again, To tell them I love ‘em, and thank them, my friends. Now I see they were perfect, yeah, they were the best, Taught me how to love, how to stand through the test, Now I know the truth, there’s no more disguise, They were my world, and I finally realize. They were my world, and I finally realize... Yeah, they were my world... now I can say goodbye.
