lyrics

I’m holding onto a grudge like
The handlebars on the bike you never taught me to ride
This isn’t an apology
Nor do I want you to forgive me
All this to say I’ve moved on
But because of you

I’m trying to cure
Something that I’m not sure I have
In fear that I’ve inherited
It from my dad
I’ve exchanged fear with reason
And now I’m at the bar
Some things you can’t cure
Some things you just can’t cure

The power and rage
That fills my feeble heart
And leaves your face on the board
With my fist full of darts
So even when me thoughts
Drive me away from you
You’re standing there in the mirror
Of my rear view so

I’m trying to cure
Something that I’m not sure I have
In fear that I’ve inherited
It from my dad
I’ve exchanged fear with reason
And now I’m at the bar
Some things you can’t cure
Some things you just can’t cure

I’ve always dreamed of
Fathers and fairytales
And how love stories never fail
The prince always gets a princess
Yeah your father always gets a mistress
He’s a drug addict with an awful habit
In a world full of turtles
Yeah he’s a rabbit
So I’m grabbing onto that lucky paw
I’m shaking it around
For good luck
Cause I’ve never had faith enough in you
I’ve never had faith enough in you

So I’m trying to cure
Something that I’m not sure I have
In fear that I’ve inherited
It from my dad
I’ve exchanged fear with reason
And now I’m at the bar
Some things you can’t cure
Some things you just can’t cure

I’ve never had faith enough in me
I’ve never had faith enough in me
Please someone have faith enough in me
Cause I’ve never, had faith enough in me
