DeadTedJ - All Things Hold Together Lyrics

I guess you hate Mom now, huh?
You told her to keep her chin up
She went and got a lawyer, like what was she thinkin? That you had brass knucks?

I don't really put blame on her much
Thats just what you do when you've lost trust
Plus her parents were in her ear like a hush
Tellin' her to duck if you ever throw a punch

You told me all about being in the courtroom
I bet you thought that I'd think lesser of you if I didn't know the story, what you went through
No need to validate it, Dad, I love you

You had a big hurdle but you couldn't clear it
Want to feel hate, but love is still cheerin'
If we talk about her, you don't wanna hear it
When you bring her up, it always lifts your spirits

Maybe that was just a highlight of your life
Raised two kids, both are doing fine
I wasn't doing fine back when I was nine
That was the first divorce. It really broke my spine
It was the first time I ever saw you cry
It was this moment when I realized that a man can never really be alive
If he goes his whole life with dry eyes

So wipe your tears on my shoulder
I'm your rock, you're my boulder
