The Worry List
"You're asking for what? Extra stuff when you're not even letting me see my daughter? Are you gonna let me see my daughter whenever I need to? Are you taking my time away from me again this weekend or are you gonna let me see Blue?"
I'm tired and twistedBarely breathingBuried in the darkA could've beenDon't be concernedThat's just the power of a breaking heartHow good am I hiding it?Look, I've got some bad intentionsGuilty as fucking chargedStill standing stable, more than able'Cause I know who you areI know the birthdays, anniversaries,All the first days I missedI regret them all, butBut now I know this
I know that God existsI held her in my armsI never knew I was ableTo ever feel this strongTake me off your worry listIt'll be better that wayI'm really fine and MarThere's nothing we haven't talked aboutSo take me off your worry listI said "throw it away"
Yeah, this is what my life is aboutI might've been goneBut I never walked out
I've taken a thousand red eyesTo change your point of viewOf what kind of man would takeThe trust you break and still follow through'Cause I'm standing right hereAnd you may not show upOur same gate 14 where honestlyI'm just sick of calling your bluffAnd it's just embarrassingThat I nearly threw upWhile I'm trying hardTo change the things I always screw up
And at the top of my listThis visitation is no relationshipBut I've got to make the best of it'Cause I know
I know that God existsI held her in my armsI never knew I was ableTo ever feel this strongTake me off your worry listIt'll be better that wayAnd I'm doing fineAnd I got plenty of friends aroundTake me off your worry listJust throw it awayWell, it's time to stand up on my own for her
'Cause I'm packing it up and I'm coming today
I couldn't wait to finally pick my family upEverything is quiet and covered in snowThere's something wrong hereNobody's at homeOh, no, no, no, no, noNow, I'm back in the driver's seatHeading back homeYeah, back to TexasOn my own
Take me off your worry listIt'll be better that wayI'm doing fineAnd I got plenty of friends aroundTake me off your worry listJust throw it awayYeah, it's time to stand up on my own for herI'm packing it up and I'm coming today
This is what my story's aboutI might have been gone but I never walked outI'm packing it up and I'm coming today
This is what your story's aboutMy pretty little girl, can you figure it out?If it helps to know so there is no doubtJust listen to the storiesNot everything is gloriousSome hurtSome loveSome shoutI fought the world and I lost that bout
And you are what my album's aboutI might've been gone but I never walked out
"Daddy fixes what?""Everything.""Yay, I love you."
