This goes out to my father, who is in critical condition right now |
I appreciate your prayers |
Mr. Wayne Bridges |
I love you |
Rest in peace Wayne Bridges |
You’re still living through me |
Listen |
Look, I lost my father to the bottle |
I’d hug him everyday like I might not see him tomorrow |
Got a enough sorrow for a lifetime |
Cause when he was living I’m thinking how do I get him to listen |
When he was seldom in his right mind |
My early years I was too young to understand |
But I remember the smell of beer and seeing all the empty cans |
Waking up, crying in the night, hearing arguments |
Hands off my momma, somehow I knew he was the cause of it |
Got a little older and he got a little worse |
Drinking must be his remedy, he got a little cursed |
Well, tell me what’s the cure for a man who miss his pops |
The beat goes on, but the drinking’s gotta stop |
If I had have know I wouldn’t see you tomorrow |
I would’ve had you hold to your heart, and put your love in a bottle, hey |
But now you got me drunk out that pain, gone after sorrow |
Wishing every day you were here with me |
But now that you’re gone, I lost my heart to the bottle, to the bottle |
Ooh oh oh |
Yeah, I lost my father to the bottle |
Functioning alcoholics what they call it far as I know |
Became a teenager and started to understand |
But even through drinks he still taught me to be a man |
So before the hospital, where the paramedics rushed him |
Any and everybody who met him, instantly loved him |
Ironic how conjure Would have made him even sicker |
Cause who gon' tell him he can’t drink none of his son’s liquor |
And tell me without my father how am I supposed to manage? |
He had the biggest heart, but also had that liver damage |
Tell me what’s the cure for a man who miss his pops |
The beat goes on, but the drinking' gotta stop |
If I had have know I wouldn’t see you tomorrow |
I would’ve had you hold to your heart, and put your love in a bottle, hey |
But now you got me drunk out that pain, gone after sorrow |
Wishing every day you were here with me |
But now that you’re gone, I lost my heart to the bottle, to the bottle |
Ooh oh oh |
Not a day goes by that I don’t miss ya, and don’t wish you were here with me |
No matter what you did, I forgive you |
I lost my father to the bottle |
Tell your parents you love 'em |
You might not see them tomorrow |
I swallow my pride, try to put my problems aside |
But I feel so hollow inside |
Gotta keep my eyes on the prize |
Cause I’m steady wishing you were here |
To see the goals that I plan to reach |
You left the day after I put you into my Grammy speech |
It’s almost like you waited just to see me win |
Well, pops I can’t wait until the day we meet again |
If I had have know I wouldn’t see you tomorrow |
I would’ve had you hold to your heart, and put your love in a bottle, hey |
But now you got me drunk out that pain, gone after sorrow |
Wishing every day you were here with me |
But now that you’re gone, I lost my heart to the bottle, to the bottle |
Ooh oh oh |
I can’t get over you you you, hey |
Love in a bottle, hey heyyy |
Oh, I miss you |
I wanna see you tomorrow |
I wanna see you again |
I wanna see you tomorrow |
I miss you, you you you you |
I love you, you you you |
