"Father In A Bible" lyrics

I know what not to do, I know how to lose
And I know how to break a heart, I learned it all from you
Don't know how to ride a bike, I suppose I'll teach myself
'Cause all I've got is an empty frame that sits upon my shelf
Something's missing

But that's okay, yeah, that's just fine
I'll learn to breathe underwater, stay away from fire
I wish you'd stayed, 'cause I've been tired
And if he won't be here now, I'll find my father in a Bible
Father in a Bible

And I refuse to wear those empty boots you left
I swear I'd trip and stumble like a whiskey silhouette
But I remember you, the smell of cigarettes
And these cold and bitter feelings that you chose to leave me with
Something's different

But that's okay, yeah, that's just fine
I'll learn to breathe underwater to stay away from fire
I wish you'd stayed, 'cause I've been tired
And if he won't be here now, I'll find my father in a Bible
Father in a Bible

But that's okay, yeah, that's just fine
I'll learn to breathe underwater, stay away from fire
I wish you'd stayed, 'cause I've been tired
And if he won't be here now, I'll find my father in a Bible
Father in a Bible
