Helena’s Song

[Verse 1: Dropping a Popped Locket]
Most of us never get it right and I'm no exception
This wasn't your fault no matter what happens know I'm still here, but barely
The time that I see you has turned into rarely
To keep a few of the tears off of your face (Don't cry)
I'll take all this blame (I'll take all this blame)
A man's what he can be (Sheesh)
Should of spent another second
I'm confessing that we were never ready for a child, not to mention two
Fell in love with being a dad to your sister (Okay)
Then a year later, I fell in love with being father to you
But daddy's only job was mixing tracks in the stu' (In the stu')
When daddy didn't make enough we needed help with food (Help with food)
Embarrassed at this lack of time that I have spent with you (Spent with you)
And not much to shown for it but your old empty room

[Pre-Chorus: Cory Carmean]
Now no one is singing
Now no one is singing
Now no one is singing her to sleep tonight

[Chorus: Cory Carmean]
It's old news now
I'm who she thinks about any time that there is colder weather. She thinks about it and her heart is full of doubt
She knows her father fucked her over...

[Verse 2: Dropping a Popped Locket]
This wasn't intentional
We were just babies with babies my aim was a little bit off
My mind was a little bit raw
Not ready for what I had lost
You're sister was sick and we were afraid of the things we had saw (Oh my God)
Hospital beds were seeming to get to your mother
Now all the distance is keeping you from me
Distance and timing and finding the money
Killing me when I'm just talking to you on the phone
I didn't get to know my baby yet, and she still growing (And she still growing)
Baby's growing up not knowing daddy and the truth (And the truth)
Is baby's gonna have people switching up the roots of the story
Please separate the proof from the venom in the bedtime stories ranging from the old to the new

[Pre-Chorus: Cory Carmean]
Now no one is singing
Now no one is singing
Now no one is singing her to sleep tonight

[Chorus: Cory Carmean]
It's old news now
I'm who she thinks about any time that there is colder weather. She thinks about it and her heart is full of doubt
She knows her father fucked her over...

[Bridge: Cory Carmean]
Now no one is singing to her to sleep
Now no one is singing to her to sleep tonight

[Chorus: Cory Carmean]
It's old news now
I'm who she thinks about any time that there is colder weather. She thinks about it and her heart is full of doubt
She knows her father fucked her over...
