So Close

You put my heart in the cage, I'm not walking away
We're so close, yet so far I'm reaching out to your hands
Only you understand
We're so close, yet so far

Couldn't even talk to you
Always drinking like you wasn't even in the room
Your thoughts so clouded, even still I had the time for you
I tried to listen, tried to talk, but everything just got too much
But still I tried to make a bond with you

How'd I forge a bond we never had
Tell me dad, why you leaving mum with six of us
Left my little sister on that bed and having seizures
When she tried to overdose, I didn't even see a tear shed

I wanna know if you hold it in, do you suffer in your silence
Is it you who I get it off well I look to you for guidance
This time I revolted you, Am I revolting myself
Many questions about you and I just need some kind of answer

Sick of me holding this hatred inside of my chest
If I don't know what's going on, no I'm not inside your head
Dad a part of me's telling me we are similar than you think
I just need you to talk to me and get us all out of this mess

Put my heart in the cage, I'm not walking away
We're so close, yet so far
I'm reaching out to your hands, only you understand
We're so close, yet so far

Why'd you even turn to the drinking up in the first place
It's like you're never here when I see you, it's like you're misplaced
Always trapped up inside the bottle and you can't walk straight
When you see me talking, you always go changing subjects
Why?
Everything I know about you came out of my mum's mouth
Wish I fucking knew you, but I don't, don't wanna go south
Dad, I wanna see you meet my kids, but honestly the way you're going's gonna kill you before we get there

I don't know what to do anymore, it's like you're just hanging the cord
Just waiting for death at the door to come and take you
I don't know what to say anymore, my thoughts all be crowding my head
And telling me I should just leave and should just let you go

I don't know what to think anymore, if I was to walk out the door
Would that make me better or would that just make me feel worse
I don't know where to go anymore, don't know what is right or what's wrong
What choice is the better one? I'm so fucking stuck

Put my heart in the cage, I'm not walking away
We're so close, yet so far
I'm reaching out to your hands, only you understand
We're so close, yet so far
