rare americans - it was you lyrics
[verse 1: dad]
time flew by so quickly
life was tickity booten by the night
the bucks, the change
the weeks, the daily grind
seventeen years young i lost my son
i lost my son
i fake being positive
everything they tell you makes no difference to me
best medicine, best doctors
best efforts round the clock
[chorus 1: dad]
god why did you do this to me?
god why did you do this to me?
a feat you can’t concede
a loss you can’t believe
a pain you can’t relieve
[verse 2: dad]
insanely unfair
beyond compare
family’s not the same
holes and caps and pain
irreversible stains
thirty years of hard work down the drain
a head full of gray
pounding rain
it just keeps coming in waves
it just keeps coming in waves
[chorus 2: dad]
god why did you do this to me?
god why did you do this to me?
i lived by the good book
my work meant something when i shook
i feel like they’re all crooks
cancer devils, filthy hooks
my son, he gave me one last look
[bridge: son]
you aren’t supposed to bury your kid
the burden i carry i barely keep hid
[dad]
where do i go from here?
i’m overwrought with fears
i just want to drink twenty f-cking beers!
[son]
but that won’t help and that won’t mend ya
have some hope that you can lend
[dad]
i’m barely coping, tiring to pretend
i’m f-cking mad at the universe!
i’m beyond bewildered
[son]
i have a gaping f-cking wound!
[dad]
i’m immeasurably confused!
[outro: son and dad]
if there was one thing in this cold world i could have chosen not to lose
it was you, you, you
it was you, you, you
if there’s one thing in this cold world i could have chosen not to lose
it was you, you, you
it was you
