Sorry Eyes

She said hey Jack You don't talk too much Is there something on your mind If you need it I can pick you up We can get high and drive all night I said There ain't ever nothin' wrong That I cannot fix alone I can cover up my lies But I can't cover up my life I make jokes about my mama taking pills And us not talking But her blood is in my veins I smoke weed and laugh about how I can out drink any man And that's what's scaring me I have watched my daddy go through hell a thousand times Just so I am well and have all I need I should be working hard to make ends meet If the bills are late we'll sleep on the streets at night But that's just life Seen through my sorry eyes Don't you ever pity me People can choose to be anything I still dream of a time That I don't see through sorry eyes Memories don't come cheap Everyone leaves eventually I can still hear the laugh of friends that passed they were gone too fast I wish they knew I'd need them when they're gone I should be singing a hero's song about how I made it away from home But those words don't pass through my teeth I just hide behind the titled lie that I'm good and not like the other guys They don't know And probably never will That I made jokes about my mama taking pills and us not talking But her blood is in my veins I smoke weed and laugh about how I can out drink any man That's what's scaring me I have watched my daddy go through hell a thousand times Just so I am well and have all I need I should be working hard to make ends meet If the bills are late we'll sleep on the streets at night But that's just life Seen through my sorry eyes Seen through my sorry eyes
