"The Kid I Never Had" lyrics

I don't wanna stand alone
Cuz sometimes sometimes I feel just like I do
Like it's me against the world even when I got you
So I try to hide the big chip on my shoulder
That only time will heal

I know the time has come for us and it makes you sad
This isn't what we want, but it's gotta be just that

The truth hurts... no matter how much we want it to work
It's not gonna, and we're gonna have to choose the worst
You say you're scared and fearing that you're losing worth
As tears smear makeup all over that pretty face of yours

You say "I need you"
Babe... "I won't leave you"
But for me to hold you I need you to hold on
I am strong for us but...

I don't wanna stand alone
Cuz sometimes sometimes I feel just like I do (like I do)
Like it's me against the world even when I got you
So I try to hide the big chip on my shoulder
That only time will heal

I don't like to talk about the kid I never had...
I was young and shit, but old enough to be a dad...

I was in love and shit but that doesn't count in the fun of it
I always wanted a son, running around, looking up to me
Was that dumb of me, to write a summary
Of how my life was gonna be when I could barely see what's in front of me?

Guess I was just naive
Like when I found out and couldn't fucking breathe
All I could see was me being there
And that's just me keeping it real, sincerely

It's all good now, it's been a couple years, see
I never really understood how deep it would tear me
Maybe I shouldn't, but I think if you being here with me
If I played you this song -would you hear it's me?

Throwing your hands in the air like your dad when he raps
Smacking your moms on the ass like your dad when she passes
By, sometimes I can't help but think why, what would happen
...would it be what we imagined?
