[Verse 1]
Found your picture in a drawer
With a family I never knew before
Singapore's got your secrets, old man
While mama waited back in Vietnam
[Chorus]
Two lives you've been living
Two hearts you've been giving
One string of lies that bind
Leaving your first born behind
[Verse 2]
Monday morning, coffee growing cold
Your business trips, now the truth unfolds
Another woman calls you dear
While we've been living in shadows here
Ain't it funny how the truth comes out
Like poison running through my veins, no doubt
[Bridge]
You taught me honor, taught me pride
While your other life stayed there inside
Now every lesson feels like sand
Slipping through my shaking hands
[Verse 3]
Mama's crying in her room at night
While you're playing daddy somewhere else alright
Your blood runs through these bitter veins
But trust me daddy, it ain't the same
Got your eyes but I don't want them now
Got your name but I'll change it anyhow
[Chorus]
Two lives you've been living
Two hearts you've been giving
One string of lies that bind
Leaving your first born behind
[Outro]
The truth's a knife that cuts so deep
And these blues are all I get to keep
Your shadow's long but I'll break free
'Cause your lies ain't gonna bury me
No, your lies ain't gonna bury me
