Son, I know that you're bummed 'cause me and your mom ain't work out
But trust me, we gave it everything that we could get 'til it burned out
Don't judge me, I did what I did, couldn't fix it, that's how it turned out
Ugly, but that's my L, can't dwell on it, it's your turn now

Gotta break the cycle of your old man, and your old man's old man's old man
And know that it ain't your fault, I got my own faults, so I gotta own, I'm a grown man
It wasn't that your mother wasn't good enough
I wasn't good enough at putting up with all the bullshit

That I shoulda just let go, I gotta go and get high, every time I get low, that's my flaw
Soon as shit gets hard, gotta go look for a cure, name it
I've been hooked on it all, can't blame it on that man, gotta explore
But first, man gotta learn how to be bored, and just sit with his thoughts

Instead of trying to ignore the trauma with these chicks on tour
'Cause they got their own shit, so you gotta own shit, what do I know though?
Probably thinking like, yeah, that no shit
Well, you think I don't know shit, I just wanna say I'm sorry

Then your home got broken, and maybe you might not put your sons through that
If you can learn to control your emotions, look
When you find a real one, don't fuck around, in the games you play you're gonna come around
And before you ever try love someone else, better learn how to love yourself, my son

This one's for all of the shit that I've done, my day will come, trust me
So, judge me right for the games I've run, for the songs I've sung, they love me
But none of that love undoes what I've done, run it back one time, son
Shine your lights and love to your mom, real shit

Happens sometimes
Bet made the bet with light
Be back tomorrow night
Wish I could turn back time
'Cause hurt people hurt people right
But still, I push you forward
But it's hard, so hard
The hurt that I can still see in your eyes
Parked the car, same car
And when I turn, see the whole world in your eyes
