[Verse 1 - male]
You say you can handle everything alone
No need for my presence, you're on your own
But here we are, back in that familiar room
Attorneys' whispers filling up the gloom
Another month, another check, another plea
For something more, never enough for thee
How can you claim to stand so tall and free
While chasing down every last penny from me?
[Pre-Chorus - male]
The same old story, played on endless loop
A broken record in this endless group
Of empty promises and hollow pride
While all your true intentions you can't hide
[Chorus - male]
But mark my words, a new day's drawing near
When that little girl turns nineteen, wipe away that tear
Those lazy days you spent, they'll fade to grey
The money train you ride will roll away
No more new toys, no more silly spree
Just the silence of your own reality
You swore you were strong, you swore you were bold
But the truth of your game will soon unfold
[Verse 2 - male]
Remember when you said you’d pull your weight?
I paid for dinners, kept food on the plate
From the moment she was born, I bore the cost
While you just lay around, completely lost
Claiming independence, a powerful stance
But you were the poison, given half a chance
Killing the spirit, draining every dream
A river of lies, a toxic, endless stream
[Pre-Chorus - male]
Now we're on paths so separate and wide
Yet still you reach, with nowhere left to hide
For more support, more comfort, more of mine
Ignoring every single warning sign
[Chorus - male]
But mark my words, a new day's drawing near
When that little girl turns nineteen, wipe away that tear
Those lazy days you spent, they'll fade to grey
The money train you ride will roll away
No more new toys, no more silly spree
Just the silence of your own reality
You swore you were strong, you swore you were bold
But the truth of your game will soon unfold
[Bridge - male]
You play your games, you think you’re smart and sly
But she’s watching closely, with a knowing eye
She'll see the effort, and she'll see the strife
And who truly lived, through this tumultuous life
[Chorus - male]
And mark my words, a new day's drawing near
When that little girl turns nineteen, wipe away that tear
Those lazy days you spent, they'll fade to grey
The money train you ride will roll away
No more new toys, no more silly spree
Just the silence of your own reality
You swore you were strong, you swore you were bold
But the truth of your game will soon unfold
[Outro - male]
Soon enough, the clock will strike that year
And all your demands will disappear.
Just you and your independence, clear.
The end of the line is almost here.
