Question Everything

Ever since I was a child
You always said that I
Should understand the rules.

You take some and give less
Sitting high above the rest
Don't joke.

As I ask a simple question
Cuts me off with this reply
He's been practicin' for decades
And now he thinks I have the time,
He falls in and out of riddles
Lookin' me straight in the eye.
But it seems like somethin's missin' from these chains
When he was more my size.

{Chorus:} Ten years over,
I finally found my bride.
When this old man
Comes a-rollin' home to die.
Old feelings make it hard to decide
Just what he means to me...

You're everything excess,
Turn black and white,
You're twistin' this stone.
The most blatant of lies.
We're just offering solutions
Practice only in mine
I must have my life to live girl

So forgive me if I come off sounding bitter,
If my words push you away,
If I seem surprised to see you lyin' here
In front of me.
Just consider what you're askin'
And give me a little time
Cos I'm still having trouble breathing
Cos till tonight,
I've never seen you cry.

{Chorus}

No son of mine Should be a secret,
No son of mine Should be never understood.

I don't need your help
Don't have to save me from myself.
Take me out to prove
A life like you...

As I ask a simple question
Cuts me off with this reply
He's been practicin' for decades
And I am listening this time.
He falls in and out of riddles
Serving steaks without the wine
But at least it seems much clearer
On how it feels
To be my size.

{Chorusx2}
Old feelings make it harder to see
Just what he means to me
Just what he means to me
Just what he means to me
Just what he means to me...
