Pink Tie

Got up and left without a warning

A pregnant woman, on easter morning

You were never anything to miss.

Cause to me you did not exist.

But for that woman and that boy you left, I'm saying this.

I'll wear the bright pink tie you wore that day

I'll make the promises you failed to make

I'll be the man you'll never be

And you won't be around to see

The man my mother made of me

With love my brother set me free

I'll be the man you'll never be

And you'll have no part of this family

Your body's failing, heart is breaking

But you're too far gone now, you're not worth saving

You never put yourself aside, you just keep bringing seed to life

So I won't be at your bedside to watch you close your eyes and die

So I won't be at your bedside to hold your hand and say goodbye

I thought I'd make your proud

But you're nowhere to be found

Maybe you'll live it down

The day that you skipped town
