Lyrics
Sugar coated memories
Hard to see it anymore
Miss the way it used to be
It was better before.
Do you think it should be easy?
Like a dirty old rag
You threw us all away.
And you ask me to be happy
On your special day.
Do you think it should be easy?
I shouldn't be the one to tell ya,
You're supposed to be a man,
But you take what you want and you never give
And we're left holding pieces.
I shouldn't be the one to tell ya,
You're supposed to be my dad!
But you take what you want
And I've never seen you give
And we pick up all the pieces if we can.
Me and mom know
You're not so cool
Your eyes are weak
Do you take me for a fool?
Do you think it should be easy?
So you drive a new car and we
Eat macaroni cheese
And you strut like you're a peacock
While my mamma's beggin' "please!"
Do you think it should be easy?
I shouldn't be the one to tell ya,
You're supposed to be the man,
But you take what you want and you never give
And we're left holding pieces.
I shouldn't be the one to tell ya,
You're supposed to be my dad!
But you take what you want
And I've never seen you give
And we pick up all the pieces if we can.
Solo
I shouldn't be the one to tell ya,
You're supposed to be a man,
But you take what you want and you never give
And we're left holding pieces.
I shouldn't be the one to tell ya,
You're supposed to be my dad!
But you take what you want
And I've never seen you give
And we pick up all the pieces if we can.
