Ruth

[Verse 1]
Wish I had cared to take the time to sit down
Get to know you, pick your brain for advice
'Cause you lived a whole life
I was only around for the old you
And I wonder when you think back to when you were younger
Were you happier then?
What was Dad really like? Did he sneak out at night?
Yeah, I wonder

[Pre-Chorus]
I was too young, a little too dumb
I didn't know what it really meant
'Cause time can run out
If we had met now, it'd be different

[Chorus]
I see the photos
Listen to the stories that they told us
Breaks my heart to think that she's the only you that I will ever know
You saw me grow up
Always acting out and being told off
I just really hate that he's the only me that you will ever know

[Verse 2]
Wish I could call you
Tell you all that you missed since I saw you
Yeah, I've grown quite a bit
I can smoke, I can drink
But my mom seems to think I don't want to
I get so anxious
If my kids asked then what would I answer?
I don't wanna admit that when I was her age
I'd spend all of my days been selfish

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I was too young, a little too dumb
I didn't know what it really meant
'Cause time can run out
If we had met now, it'd be different

[Chorus]
I see the photos
Listen to the stories that they told us
Breaks my heart to think that she's the only you that I will ever know
You saw me grow up
Always acting out and being told off
I just really hate that he's the only me that you will ever know

[Outro]
Breaks my heart to think that he's the only me that you will ever know
