Elton John
I remember hearing daddy play the keys in the house
I see why it's called the blues cause he ain't here to play it now
All these Elton John records ain't been hittin quite the same
I was in the backseat, growin up hearing it play
Way before I knew how this game of life
is really played
Yeah I thought I'd hear my daddy play 'em on my wedding day
Nah I'm hoping you don't mind, cause I can't seem to find the words
But this life just ain't as beautiful without you in the world
Ooh I'm too good at hiding how I feel
I just keep it ninety-nine cause I don't wanna keep it real
So if I'm bein a hunnid I feel like the lost son
But my brother said our God leaves the ninety-nine for the one
Ooh my minds been runnin, I just wanna slow it down
Tellin all these voices in my head, "you're being way too loud"
I got monsters livin under my bed, we talk from time to time
All these bones inside my closet, I pretend like they ain't mine
Woah if you saw inside my mind would you love me still?
Would you stay with me if I was alone up on this hill?
You say put that fruit back on the tree, you have what I need
But that low hanging fruit makes sweeter juice, I'm sippin it with Eve
Heaven seems so far away
I told mama I can't wait to see your face again
You won't meet my wife or see my life, and it's killin me
But I can still hear that piano sing when I dream
I remember hearing daddy play the keys in the house
I see why it's called the blues cause he ain't here to play it now
All these Elton John records ain't been hittin quite the same
I was in the backseat, growin up hearing it play
Way before I knew how this game of life
is really played
Yeah I thought I'd hear my daddy play 'em on my wedding day
Nah I'm hoping you don't mind, cause I can't seem to find the words
But this life just ain't as beautiful without you in the world
It's been hard for me to crack a smile, lately I've been feeling guilty
How can I dance in our garden when all the flowers around are wilting?
Cause I know nothing grows without rain but I miss the sun she's feelin foreign
Walking round with these clouds above me, but I got used to feelin it pouring
I have no tears left to give, yeah maybe I ran out after daddy passed
"All my thoughts and prayers" yeah it's funny how long all that lasts
Please don't tell me you're prayin for me if you ain't gon stick around
I just let the time go by and laugh cause they ain't with me now
And maybe I'm a cynic, but I've seen it
Homie that's why I keep my circle small cause I don't really need 'em
Mama I feel so empty, I'll smile thru the pain but I know
We can put us in the frame but not everyone's in the family photo
Nah I miss you dad
I see why it's called the blues cause he ain't here to play it now
All these Elton John records ain't been hittin quite the same
I was in the backseat, growin up hearing it play
Way before I knew how this game of life
is really played
Yeah I thought I'd hear my daddy play 'em on my wedding day
Nah I'm hoping you don't mind, cause I can't seem to find the words
