lyrics

No one told me it was gonna be this hard
I just had a feeling
That’s how it would go
The look on your face
I was standing in the yard
Too young to understand
But old enough to know

And you always said that I was
Too precocious for my age
But really I just felt the way you did
And I always knew
That it would end like this one day
Don’t ask me how
Cause I was just a kid

You did your best
To try to raise us on religion
I know you stopped believing
But I never did at all
Daysleeper
Guess you just got tired of living
And I knew that would happen
From when I could barely walk

And you always said that I was
Too precocious for my age
But really I just felt the way you did
And I always knew
That it would end like this one day
Don’t ask me how
Cause I was just a kid

And the only one who saw how hard I took it is my dog
Cause there’s no higher power and I don’t believe in god
But maybe if you’re watching
Could you tell me where you think I’m going wrong?

There was nothing I could do
To save you from yourself
But all along I knew
You would’ve asked me if you wanted help
And she’s still got the pictures
From your wedding
In a drawer beside her bed
And love is all that’s left

And you always said that I was
Too precocious for my age
But really I just felt the way you did
And I always knew
That it would end like this one day
Don’t ask me how
Cause I was just a kid
