Father Figure

Never had to say that you were sorry
Breaking down a family to feel something
Rather have a cigarette than someone who would love you
It's a father figure, lost it's meaning, there was nothing

My momma said, we'd grow up to be one
I don't trust myself, I don't wanna hurt nobody
Black and blue regrets, well I was helping everyone
Then my voice progressed, take away all that he started

I, oh I don't need your loving, no
Why take away my skin and bones?
I, I won't be around no more
I let you take away my soul
Let you take away my soul

Treat me how you wish to be respected
Now I close my eyes to hide behind reflections
It's hard to look around to find perspective
When I asked you for a hand, you held me captive

I wanna hear you calling
It hurts when you say my name
I'm broke when you get a hold of
My life, I'm tryna find a better play

I, oh I don't need your loving, no
Why take away my skin and bones?
I, I won't be around no more
I let you take away my soul
I let you take away my soul
I let you take away my soul
I let you take away my soul
I
