| Why can’t it be more simple?
|
| We never learned the way
|
| How can it be more simple?
|
| I live and learn to let it work
|
| The other night I had a dream that you apologised
|
| And you became honesty personified
|
| I hadn’t seen you in the longest time
|
| So I just woke up and started writing what was on my mind
|
| I wrote five different versions of my verses
|
| Trying to make the shit all perfect and it got less and less acerbic
|
| Started trying to reword it
|
| I got nervous you’d be hurt when you heard it
|
| Till I scrapped it cause I wondered if it’s worth it
|
| Then I thought, «well, fuck you»
|
| Yeah, and fuck you from each one of yours sons too
|
| Remember when I tried to visit
|
| And you just told me you were busy?
|
| Like you don’t really ever miss me after ten years
|
| Well, sincerely fuck you
|
| I’m tired of feeling terrible
|
| Tired of tiptoeing over sugar coated eggshells
|
| I’m tired of holding this grudge like a family heirloom
|
| I’m tired of feeling unloved and I just want to rest now
|
| Why can’t it be more simple?
|
| We never learned the way
|
| How can it be more simple?
|
| I live and learn to let it work
|
| I’ve never talked about you much before
|
| Cause I avoid it, it always feels uncomfortable
|
| That’s why I try to keep you as a passing thought
|
| Cause if I hold on I get dragged into the past with all
|
| The memories I have of getting slapped around in that apartment
|
| After you and mum divorced you’ve got a lot to answer for
|
| What did you tell nana afterwards
|
| While you were stealing money
|
| Out the birthday cards she passed on for us
|
| You could at least passed the cards on I mean
|
| Would have been nice to hear from someone
|
| From your side of the family for once but nothing ever came
|
| I’m tryna get you out my head again
|
| And all this stuff that I was scared to say
|
| I made an album that you never played, you told me that
|
| So when my friends told me I should let this wait
|
| I told 'em, «fuck it, he ain’t gonna listen to this anyway»
|
| Why can’t it be more simple?
|
| We never learned the way
|
| How can it be more simple?
|
| I live and learn to let it work
|
| We used to watch you and your friends in a band
|
| Every second weekend we’d hang out when you would jam
|
| You told me I should say thanks for the genetics I have
|
| Cause it lead me to rap like you wanna take the credit for that
|
| Well, fine, but why end it at rap?
|
| Like how about thanks for that depression I had?
|
| Or what about the head full of anger the temper I have?
|
| Could burn bridges to ashes
|
| So I burnt weed cause it kept me from snapping
|
| Ketamine, Xanax, x or the acid, whatever those tablets
|
| Are in your medicine cabinet gimme the packet
|
| Anything that could stop me acting edgy and anxious
|
| Everything back then feels like a bunch of memory fragments
|
| So take the credit for that shit, if you want it’s all yours
|
| You ignored me all my life
|
| But I don’t blame you anymore besides
|
| The other night I had a dream that you apologised |
