compassion fatigue - i missed that piano lesson because i was in jail lyrics

you asked if i gave lessons when you heard me play
your son expressed an interest, so we picked a day
i bought workbooks for beginner from the music store
you had a family and a house and i was young and poor
we were never all that close but you were kind to me
and over seven weeks i got to know your family
you acted like you couldn’t see my tears and stains
the alcohol and angry chaos leaking from veins
now it’s so many years later and you still don’t know
why we were set for that еight lesson and i didn’t show
i got stopped in griffith park for having open gеar
and my id turned up a warrant for a failure to appear

i disappeared, but sometime later after i got clean
we crossed paths and your son was somehow seventeen
i didn’t know how to explain why i did what i did
i was ashamed of scr+w+ng up and letting down your kid
you probably wondered why i never called you back
you probably worried i keeled over with a heart attack
but when a month went by i’m sure that you felt bad because
you thought you’ve been too naive to see me as i was
and i know that you won’t see my like you did back then
i will always be a guy you’ll never trust again
and i’d like to say i’m sorry, but it’s been too long
but maybe someday i’ll get lucky and you’ll listen to this song
