Curtain Call 2专辑

  • 作词 : Emile Haynie/Jeff Bhasker/Marshall Mathers/Nate Ruess/Luis Resto
    作曲 : Emile Haynie/Jeff Bhasker/Marshall Mathers/Nate Ruess/Luis Resto
    Mom, I know I let you down
    And though you say the days are happy
    Why is the power off and I'm ****ed up?
    And, Mom, I know he's not around
    But don't you place the blame on me
    As you pour yourself another drink, yeah
    I guess we are who we are
    Headlights shining in the dark night, I drive on
    Maybe we took this too far
    I went in headfirst, never thinkin' about who what I said hurt
    In what verse, my mom probably got it the worst
    The brunt of it, but as stubborn as we are, did I take it too far?
    "Cleanin' Out My Closet" and all them other songs
    But regardless, I don't hate you ‘cause, Ma
    You're still beautiful to me, ‘cause you're my mom
    Though far be it from you to be calm
    Our house was Vietnam, Desert Storm
    And both of us put together could form an atomic bomb
    Equivalent to chemical warfare
    And forever we could drag this on and on
    But agree to disagree, that gift for me
    Up under the Christmas tree don't mean s**t to me
    You're kickin' me out? It's 15 degrees
    And it's Christmas Eve, "Little p***k, just leave!"
    Ma, let me grab my ****ing coat!
    Anything to have each other's goats
    Why we always at each other's throats?
    Especially when Dad, he ****ed us both
    We're in the same ****in' boat
    You'd think that'd make us close (nope)
    Further away it drove us, but together, headlights shine
    And a car full of belongings, still got a ways to go
    Back to grandma's house, it's straight up the road
    And I was the man of the house, the oldest
    So my shoulders carried the weight of the load
    Then Nate got taken away by the state at eight years old
    And that's when I realized you were sick
    And it wasn't fixable or changeable
    And to this day we remain estranged, and I hate it though, but—
    I guess we are who we are
    Headlights shining in the dark night, I drive on
    Maybe we took this too far
    ‘Cause to this day we remain estranged, and I hate it though
    ‘Cause you ain't even get to witness your grandbabies grow
    But I'm sorry, Momma, for "Cleanin' Out My Closet"
    At the time I was angry, rightfully? Maybe so
    Never meant that far to take it though
    ‘Cause now I know it's not your fault, and I'm not makin' jokes
    That song I no longer play at shows
    And I cringe every time it's on the radio
    And I think of Nathan being placed in a home
    And all the medicine you fed us and
    How I just wanted you to taste your own
    But now the medication's takin' over
    And your mental state's deterioratin' slow
    And I'm way too old to cry, the s**t is painful though
    But, Ma, I forgive you, so does Nathan, yo
    All you did, all you said, you did your best to raise us both
    Foster care, that cross you bear, few may be as heavy as yours
    But I love you, Debbie Mathers
    Oh, what a tangled web we have ‘cause
    One thing I never asked was
    Where the **** my deadbeat dad was
    **** it, I guess he had trouble keepin' up with every address
    But I'da flipped every mattress, every rock and desert cactus
    Owned a collection of maps
    And followed my kids to the edge of the atlas
    If someone ever moved 'em from me
    That you coulda bet your asses
    If I had to come down the chimney, dressed as Santa, kidnap 'em
    And although one has only met their grandma once
    You pulled up in our drive one night
    As we were leavin' to get some hamburgers
    Me, her and Nate, we introduced you, hugged you
    And as you left I had this overwhelming sadness
    Come over me as we pulled off to go our separate paths and
    I saw your headlights as I looked back
    And I'm mad I didn't get the chance to
    Thank you for being my mom and my dad
    So, Mom, please accept this as a
    Tribute; I wrote this on the jet, I guess I had to
    Get this off my chest, I hope I get the chance to
    Lay it 'fore I'm dead, the stewardess said to fasten
    My seatbelt, I guess we're crashin'
    So, if I'm not dreamin', I hope you get this message that
    I will always love you from afar, ‘cause you're my mom
    I guess we are who we are
    Headlights shining in the dark night, I drive on
    Maybe we took this too far
    I want a new life (start over)
    One without a cause (clean slate)
    So I'm coming home tonight
    Well, no matter what the cost
    And if the plane goes down
    Or if the crew can't wake me up
    Well, just know that I'm alright
    I was not afraid to die
    Oh, even if there's songs to sing
    Well, my children will carry me
    Just know that I'm alright
    I was not afraid to die
    Because I put my faith in my little girls
    So I'll never say goodbye cruel world
    Just know that I'm alright
    I am not afraid to die
    I guess we are who we are
    Headlights shining in the dark night, I drive on
    Maybe we took this too far
    I want a new life
