Oh Betty what's the use
I guarantee I've heard worse news
And that's unfair to me
Two brothers grew up quick
Find all I write's sad trauma shit
My themes are overdone
It's just how I got on
Obsessions grew out of the loss
And needs to go impress
Couldn't be present then
Got busy watching my old man
To learn that he's just lonely
So hold me now Betty
Can't quite relax til I've
Made someone proud that's still alive
It's easier said than done
Hope my old drawings come
Just half as true when things pick up
'Cause no one seems this restless
I'm helpless oh Betty, but happy that you came
Could you stay
And it's scary oh Betty, to think as much as me
I'm in need
But you didn't ask for this
Thought things would end after a kiss
But that's not why you're here
See I've just lost my way
Still hope to hear my father say
My work has any meaning
And I'm grieving still Betty and needed this tonight Is it right
I'd call that cheated, even abused
All that he needed, he will search in you
