Dear Son, Lyrics

Dear son, I'm really proud of the little guy you're about to become

You're in your mother's belly

You kicked me

She laughed

It was kind of funny

I'm a good father

I was lost without my mother

I'm a good father

But they didn't even bother

You're my everything

And I'd sacrifice my life for you

I'd take every bullet and I'd go to hell for you

Even though I don't always

Have you

I'll just keep on living

I'm just, I'm just

Existing

For you

Dear son, I'm fucking terrified

I'm working my ass off

I hope I can sleep tonight

But it hurts because I've been contemplating suicide

I'm a good father

And I was lost without my mother

I'm a good father

But they didn't even bother

You're my everything

And I'd sacrifice my life for you

I'd take every bullet and I'd go to hell for you

Even though I don't always

Have you

I'll just keep on living

I'm just, I'm just

Existing

For you

Dear son,

She doesn't want me anymore

She gave me back the ring

She walked right out the door

And I don't know if I'll survive

But I can't

Do this anymore

I'm a good father

And I was lost without my mother

I'm a good father

But they didn't even bother

You're my everything

And I'd sacrifice my life for you

I'd take every bullet and I'd go to hell for you

Even though I don't always

Have you

I'll just keep on living

I'm just, I'm just

Existing

For you

Dear son

I woke up in the ICU today

With a tube down my throat

And the restraints

She found me in my bed

And my consciousness was faint

I'm a good father

And I was lost without my mother

I'm a good father

But they didn't even bother

You're my everything

And I'd sacrifice my life for you

I'd take every bullet and I'd go to hell for you

Even though I don't always

Have you

I'll just keep on living

I'm just, I'm just

Existing

For you

Dear son,

Your mother's taking me to court

For the way that I reacted to them

My mother's front porch

I should focus on my mental health

But I can't

I focus too much

On my wealth

I'm a good father

I was lost without my mother

I'm a good father

But they didn't even bother

You're my everything

And I'd sacrifice my life for you

I'd take every bullet and I'd go to hell for you

Even though I don't always

Have you

I'll just keep on living

I'm just, I'm just

Existing

For you

I know I haven't seen him in a while

But can I please just see my child

I quit doing all the drugs

And quit drinking all the beers

All the pain is gone

And so are all the fears

You're my everything

And I'd sacrifice my life for you

I'd take every bullet and I'd go to hell for you

Even though I don't always

Have you

I'll just keep on living

I'm just, I'm just

Existing

For you

For you

And I know it's sad
