Curse

Crept outside of the party to stare at myself The breakout, the side of my face that keeps giving me hell Your passive comments on my hair well, I never knew it mattered The smell of pomade in the air keeps me locked inside this bathroom While I'm missing all the fun Wish the mirror here would shatter Thank you for the damage done Your sons a narcissistic bastard Is it me or did your father leave you hurt Because he never let you notice who you were I can feel you still there watching from the bleachers Passing down all your beliefs like a curse You told your wife lets start a life my lessons learned What's done to me I won't repeat baby, I'm cured But all the damage that your dad did has dispersed On to you down on to us, like a curse Was scared of singing for so long Because when I was still younger We were driving down the road Singing loud and proud to Freebird You said the boy might be many things but surely he isn't no singer Well now Dad heres a ringer We're touring through your hometown My first show in Denver You didn't even make it out Looking in your eyes I know you're tryna downsize me But I'm taller than you now, being all the things you never could be Is it me or did your father leave you hurt Because he never let you notice who you were I can feel you still there watching from the bleachers Passing down all your beliefs like a curse You told your wife lets start a life my lessons learned What's done to me I won't repeat baby, I'm cured But all the damage that your dad did has dispersed On to you down on to us, like a curse Had you cutting off my wings till I learned To watch what you've spoken and heard The damage you can do with your words So check what you say to each other Your children, your friends, and your mother Because it might take them years to uncover The damage you did with a few words
