[Verse 1]
We took the 40 down to
Visit the family and I
Told you the only kin I knew
Was who I could see from the gurney

Like I was a talented liar
Turns out that all my friends were
Trying to do me a favor
[Chorus]
I always wanna tell the truth
But it never seems like the right time

[Verse 2]
Sat on the hood, out all night
Trying to scrape together change
You pulled a moth out
From the grill of your truck
Saying it's a shame
How come it's so much еasier
With anything less than human
Letting yoursеlf be tender?
Well, you couldn't make me do it
[Chorus]
It doesn't feel too bad, but it
Doesn't feel too good, either
Just like a nicotine patch, it
Hardly works, then it's over
[Bridge]
Who put me
In your way to find?
And what right had you
Not to let me die?
Ooh, but did I even know
What I was asking for?
If I had my way
I'd have missed you more
Than you missed me
You missed me
[Outro]
You missed me
You missed me

I have a friend whose parents live in Jackson, where my parents live. They’re one of my closest friends and they were around for the super dark part of 2019. I’ll try to talk to the person who I hurt or I’ll try to admit the wrongdoing that I’ve done. I’ll feel so much guilt about it that I’ll cry....
