One For The Road

If you're hearing this, it means I'm gone

I made this just for you, 'cause you deserve to know what's going on

You probably feel betrayed

But don't let anybody tell you that those feelings that you have put you in the wrong

I wish you would've told me sooner, it's probably what you're thinking

But when we met, man, my boat had already been sinking

Don't take it personal. Therapy, family

I tried everything, don't think it happened in between you blanking

There's really nothing that you could've done

Man, I mean, you put me on your back every single time I couldn't run

But this race we call life got different finish lines

I was always faster, so you can't be mad. I finished mine

I'm gon' miss you. And bitch, you better miss me too

Only reason I stuck around was to see you through

That dream we had, you gotta dream it on your own now

You strong enough for both of us, so bring it on now

I'll take one for the road, I know it's messed up, I had to go, but you making me proud

From up in the clouds, I close the door behind me

So don't you go try and find me, go wake me up

I'll be up in the clouds waiting for you

I tell myself it's not my fault, there's nothing I can do

You didn't tell me 'cause you knew I'd ask if I come too

I'll try to bargain with you, striking up these deals that we both know would never happen

But hey, sometimes dreams come true. I wish I knew that last hug was all I'd get

I didn't hold you tight to hear my heart, and that's my one regret

Maybe if you felt it be against yours, you would've changed your mind. But I guess it's the thanks I get

I'm writing good times down while I can still remember. I wanna tell my kids about you and our cold Decembers

I'll keep your fire alive, you always burn the brightest, keep your colds safe. I'll make a fire out of all this ember

If you trust me, they keep going. Got no choice I guess. I know your ghost supply and precious sitting on my chest

I'll tell your mom she raised you right, go fishing with your dad. They may have lost a kid, but me, I lost all I had

I'll take one for the road, I know it's messed up, I had to go, but you're making me proud. From up in the clouds

I close the door behind me so don't you go trying to find me

Go wake me up, I'll be up in the clouds

Waiting for you
