Bad Husband

[00:00.17] We never saw from each other's sides, or eye to eye

[00:04.71] Just eye for eye, lie for lie, fight or flight

[00:07.37] So much baggage, need a luggage rack

[00:09.12] But we carry on with our public spats and our feuds

[00:11.78] Up back in the news, love taps when I dissed you

[00:14.73] Like it was fun, actually used to run back to the booth

[00:17.82] Jump back in the studio, give you a tongue-lashing, then you

[00:21.02] Laughed at a stomach tat with the tomb stone

[00:22.77] It was funny back in our youth

[00:24.79] But then it wasn't after we knew

[00:26.62] That we were done and actually through (and actually through)

[00:29.83] But if there's one fraction of truth

[00:31.42] If it could be spun back I would do

[00:33.18] So many things different (things different)

[00:34.93] 'Cause it was such a dumb-ass excuse

[00:36.94] You hit me once and that I would use

[00:38.81] To continue the pattern of abuse

[00:40.66] Why did I punch back? Girls, your dad is a scumbag, I'm confused

[00:44.38] Because

[00:45.61] How come you can be a lord and a loser?

[00:53.33] How come, how come, you can be a liar and a good father?

[01:00.78] A good dad, but a bad husband

[01:05.58] Why are you a good father?

[01:08.51] A great dad, but a bad husband

[01:14.88] You were the beat I loved with a writer's block

[01:16.65] The line that's hot, that I forgot

[01:19.47] We laughed a little, cried a lot

[01:21.33] I'll never forget when you came home and you held Hailie

[01:24.26] Day before you went to jail and daily

[01:26.04] How we'd wait for that mail lady

[01:27.80] Or by the phone for Mom to call

[01:29.68] And I watched you pull yourself up and we decided on

[01:32.22] Givin' it one more try despite it all

[01:34.54] You're my lightning rod when my sky gets dark

[01:36.57] I'm your shiny rocks in that tiny box

[01:38.34] When we tied the knot, when we broke the knot

[01:40.20] Every line we crossed we were supposed to not

[01:41.97] Every time we fought, the insults, they got… thrown too far

[01:45.95] Words that we said that we didn't mean

[01:47.55] The words that we meant that we didn't say

[01:49.16] The ones that we thought that we shoulda said

[01:51.01] Letters written that we coulda read

[01:53.85] Which maybe woulda led to some good instead

[01:55.87] And had this put to bed

[01:56.55] But I'd be lyin' still if I said I wasn't sittin' here askin' myself

[02:00.54] How come you can be a lord and a loser?

[02:07.96] How come, how come, you can be a liar and a good father?

[02:15.42] A good dad, but a bad husband

[02:20.46] Why are you a good father?

[02:23.11] A great dad, but a bad husband (Dad) (you said)

[02:27.47] Forever be a hero in my eyes (I reply)

[02:33.21] But there's always another side to a good father

[02:37.99] A great dad, but a bad husband

[02:44.90] We brought out the worst in each other

[02:46.12] Someone had to make the sparring end

[02:47.97] 'Cause I loved you, but I hated that me

[02:50.28] And I don't wanna see that side again

[02:51.78] But I'm sorry, Kim

[02:52.77] More than you could ever comprehend

[02:54.90] Leavin' you was fuckin' harder than

[02:56.77] Sawing off a fuckin' body limb

[02:58.61] Once upon a time where all we had

[03:00.48] Maybe that's what drew us

[03:01.45] To each other, it was true love

[03:02.68] Shit, we never knew was possible

[03:04.17] We might have loved each other too much

[03:06.21] And maybe that's what made us do what

[03:07.46] We did to each other, all the screw-ups

[03:08.95] 'Cause you always thought that you was

[03:10.18] More in love with me

[03:11.14] And I was thinkin' I was more in love than you was

[03:13.18] For all the times that we thought it worked

[03:15.25] 'Til we saw how wrong we were

[03:17.38] When the dust settles now and all the dirt

[03:18.96] If I touch the rawest nerve

[03:20.18] All I want is for us not to hurt

[03:22.73] And it's been an exhaustive search to find the words

[03:25.13] But I just heard "Mockingbird"

[03:26.98] And got the urge to jot some verses and thoughts

[03:29.27] The purpose was not to stir up or open wounds

[03:31.82] I've caused a few and so have you

[03:33.41] Or argue whose fault it was

[03:35.55] Partly yours, partly mine, but really no one's

[03:38.74] This is so tough, I'm gettin' choked up

[03:40.60] Oh fuck it, we both suck

[03:42.10] We broke up, got back together

[03:44.25] We both thought we had forever

[03:46.11] Not bad people, just bad together

[03:49.03] We were so nuts, back-stabbed each other

[03:50.54] Another blow struck, but there's no duckin' this blow

[03:53.13] 'Cause it's over and it's closure

[03:55.43] But I'm not so sure how to close this

[03:58.35] I just don't know how some people can be so good

[04:00.91] At one thing and so fucked at a whole 'nother

[04:03.21] Shit, it's no wonder

[04:03.91] How come, how come, you can be a lord and a loser?

[04:11.37] How come, how come, you can be a liar and a good father?

[04:18.71] A good dad, but a bad husband

[04:23.77] Why are you a good father?

[04:26.06] A great dad, but a bad husband (Dad) (you said)

[04:31.00] Forever be a hero in my eyes (I reply)

[04:36.03] But there's always another side to a good father

[04:41.16] A great dad, but a bad husband
