Key: B * You can play this easier with Capo 4 [Intro]        [Verse 1] You swing by late with money for groceries Forgot writing the check another week I guess I thought that you remembered It’s always four days till September And I pretend to sleep but I didn’t even brush my teeth And by the time I opened my eyes your truck was gone So I cried myself to sleep just nine years young [Chorus] How could you not love what is yours? How could you leave two perfect boys? How could you not be enough but still make me want your love? How could you call yourself a man? How could you not know who I am? How could you not be еnough but still make me want your love? [Verse 2] You both stand at thе door look at your boy He’s grown into his ears better to hear You kneel down next to the sofa You brush my hair and look me over And then you kiss my head smell cigarettes fresh on your breath And by the time I got the nerve to tell you off Well the tar and nicotine finally did their job [Chorus] How could you not love what is yours? How could you leave two perfect boys? How could you not be enough but still make me want your love? How could you call yourself a man? How could you not know who I am? How could you not be еnough but still make me want your love? [Outro] Still chasing that light that you left behind Still fighting that fire waiting for a sign Still chasing that light that you left behind Still wondering why you left me behind

À propos de la chanson

La chanson aborde le thème de l'abandon et de la quête d'amour paternel. Le narrateur exprime sa douleur face à l'absence de son père, se demandant pourquoi celui-ci a pu ignorer ses responsabilités et l'amour qu'il aurait dû porter à ses enfants. À travers des souvenirs d'enfance, il évoque des moments où il a ressenti un fort besoin de connexion, mais où il a été laissé seul et déçu. Les questions posées reflètent une profonde incompréhension et une lutte personnelle pour comprendre l'absence de figure paternelle, balançant entre frustration et espoir.
