Not Coming Home

from Worthless by Gus Bellflower

/

lyrics

All that you say, it won't change a thing
I've become unphased to all the excuses you bring
So enjoy all your flings, keep your needles away
And provide better care for the pills by which I've been replaced
Cause I'm not coming home
I'm not coming home
I'm not coming home

Cause I could never
Be anywhere where you are
So I'm not coming home
For all I know, it's dead and gone

But now there's a child on a backyard swing
And he won't take the gifts I've been offering
I cannot buy his love or respect for me
And all of his tearful words are still soaked through my sleeves

"You know we're all alone
While all you do is roam.
So why won't you come home?
Things could be better.
You say you're a man, so be strong and forgive her.
But you're never around to see that she's better.
We don't know where you are."

But my stomach churns when memories conjure
And my skin, it burns from the touch of her
And if I could, would I endure
A life morose for something pure

Is this what it means to be a parent?
To give up all your joy so they can have it?
Well, I hope without me, he will still be strong
So strong...
So strong...
