lyrics

He appeared so quickly
I was comfortable
He made sure that I was
Because he cared for me
He made my mother so happy
And because of that
He made me happy
We were all happy
And then he got sick
He just got so sick
And all of us did too
But we were all happy
Both of us had our problems
The chemo fucked with him
And my anger fucked with me
I wished he would die
And when I saw him taking pills
When he thought no one was looking
It flared me up greater than anything
How could he do that to her?
I watched you melt into that chair
The ambulance came and took you away
Was the overdose worth it?
How good did that oxycontin feel?
You went into the hospital
For the last time on my birthday
And that was the last time you'd be out
You'd never grace our home again
Mom would tell me things
About how you were getting worse
You were always getting worse
I never thought much of it
Then that morning I got a call
He was taken to the ICU
And that's where you stayed
And that's where we stayed
And it wasn't until I was with you
Alone, beside your death bed
Holding your hand and crying
That you were my father
So again, I lost my father
That was it, I was done
I'm never loving again
I'm never fucking loving again
