This song was one of the few off “Black” that Wolfi did not write totally about himself. Though he said he does relate to the situation, the song is about parents of a friend of his who were in the midst of a struggling marriage. This song is from the perspective of the father, desperately trying to...
[Verse 1]
You don't look me in the eyes
I can't say that I'm surprised
But you and me gotta lead the pride
Try to hide what I feel inside
[Pre-Chorus]
Gotta family raise
You don't care what I say
And you can give me the blame
But don't take what we have and just throw it away
I'm tired of tear shed
Everyday is new dread
And I know how the wound bled
Stay together like 182 said
[Chorus]
You don't want
You don't wanna talk
So please blink once
To notify me
If you want
What you know what I want
But please blink twice
If I should stop trying
[Verse 2]
Do you remember?
Tell me do you remember
The hell I went through
Just to be there for you
I was your defender
Girl I would never surrender
To the demons I knew
Unless you told me to
Yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Gotta family raise
You don't care what I say
And you can give me the blame
But don't take what we have and just throw it away
I'm tired of tear shed
Everyday is new dread
And I know how the wound bled
Stay together like 182 said
[Chorus]
You don't want
You don't wanna talk
So please blink once
To notify me
If you want
What you know what I want
But please blink twice
If I should stop trying
[Verse 3 - Jeremiah Stokes]
Michaelangelo decorated the corridor
Black curtains, kill lights in the living room
That's ironic, I'm an affection pessimist
Even if we get to fussin, cussin, discussions
Always end with me saying I'm right behind you
Like a spirit too
I ain't trying to save face and that weird to you
I was never in the right when I met you down and out
And I'm sorry if it counts for a damn thing
Got addicted to the life, I'm a victim to a plight
Down and dusted off the mantle while she's dancing
Skin glisten in the night like her body was celestial or something
And the gleam was so entrancing
I can't sing, I am out of the nobody
I couldn't learn to keep you
So i learned to live without you
And I'm sorry
