[Verse 1] A little boy, he was loved, but not quite good enough Her kisses sweet, but his fathers touch was a little rough Love always made him wanna pull away And thats what he did cause he couldnt see another way [Verse 2] Fathers angry words playin on repeat He never looked too deep inside for fear of what hed see And as soon as hed get home, hed want to run away So he left them cause he couldnt see another way [Chorus] I dont wanna see everything you see Even though your darkness stays a little piece of me But now I know why youd always turn away Despite tryin every day You couldnt see another way [Verse 3] Keepin tabs on whos naughty and whos nice He keeps his southern whiskey and his bitterness on ice And he railed at the injustice every day And he never stopped cause he couldnt see another way [Chorus] I dont wanna see everything you see Even though your darkness stays a little piece of me But now I know why youd always turn away Despite tryin every day You couldnt see another way [Verse 4] He met a woman who loved him just as he was But nothin she could do to prove that he would be enough So he told her that he was poorly made And he left her cause he couldnt see another way [Chorus] I dont wanna see everything you see Even though your darkness stays a little piece of me But now I know why youd always turn away Despite tryin every day You couldnt see another way
