lyrics

My father:
You look for warmth in icy waters
your talents have been so distorted
by insecurity

And I’ll give you
My honest take, I know you hate it.
Your habits have become outdated
and alien to me.

Yeah, I know life is hard
You try your best
You just have lost
your confidence
And all the leaves
have fallen to the ground.

All your kindness
All your beauty
and all of your tears

All your heartaches,
all your mistakes
and all of your fears

Are embedded in me

My mother:
You never seem to know your limits
I sometimes wish I had your spirit
and positivity.

But I know that
Your words can swiftly turn to daggers
And it’s hard to see if you’re my friend or
my worst enemy.

All your kindness
All your beauty
and all of your tears

All your heartaches,
all your mistakes
and all of your fears

Are embedded in me
