Quotable Lyrics:
Another pill as I start to spiral
Message to my daughters
I don’t even deserve the father title
Hailie, I’m so sorry
I know I wasn’t there for your first guitar recital
Didn’t walk you down the aisle
Missed the birth of your first child
Your first podcast, lookin’ down, sweetie
I’m so proud of how you turned out
Sorry that I chose drugs and put ’em above you
Sorry that I didn’t love you enough to
Give ’em up, how the f**k do
I not love you more than a pill?
Lookin’ up to the ceilin’ from this floor, wonder will
