Hey, Mom

*lighter clicks, exhale*

Hey, Mom, the world's kinda fucked up

And I really didn't think that I'd be sad this much but I -

Guess bein' happy is just easier said than done

Hey, Mom

Went to a wedding last week

Watched my best friend get married

She was the girl of his dreams

They'll probably start a fam-i-ly

Can't lie, I feel a little guilty

Wondering "When'll that be me?"

Gettin' tired of hearin' Mama say

"When you gonna give me grandbabies?"

Hey, Mom, the world's kinda fucked up

And I really didn't think that I'd be sad this much but I -

Guess bein' happy is just easier said than done

Hey, Mom

Don't tell Dad I'm gettin' fucked up

Cuz he wouldn't like it if he knew

That I had to

Take pills to make it through

Hey, Mom

Hey, Mom

Bought a house that I can't afford

Cuz all my buddies said it's better to be poor than livin' with my parents

Since I just turned 27

Can't lie, it's nice to have a home where I can sit around and write these songs

But tell me what's the use in

Having no one to share it with?
