yeah it’s my life
in my own words i guess
have you ever loved someone so much you’d give an arm for
not the expression no literally give an arm for
when they know they’re your heart and you know you are their armor
and you will destroy anyone who would try to harm her
but what happens when karma turns right around to bite you
and everything you stand for turns on you to spite you
what happens when you become the main source of her pain
daddy look what i made dad’s gotta go catch a plane
daddy where’s mommy i can’t find mommy where is she
i don’t know go play hailie baby your daddy’s busy
daddy’s writin’ a song this song ain’t gon’ write itself

then turn right around on that song and tell her you love her
and put hands on her mother who’s a spitting image of her
