Flawed (feat. Skrizzly Adams)

It's hard to be scared of a little thunder When you've spent your whole life waiting in the rain Yeah, you reminisce, just grin, look back and wonder If you're ever gonna feel that way again Yeah, but you sit all at home, you're waiting But I've got a long way to go Just hold on 'til the stars start fading Just feel like I'm almost home Yeah, there's no tendency that I can see To get you off my mind I'm just flawed No, I'm just flawed Sirens went off in his head Still half drunk in a foreign bed Said he'd be home after work, but he went to the bar instead And instead of with his wife, he woke up with this new acquaintance He met after seven shots and a couple of beers to chase it Basically he was wasted, but there's always a choice Reason chimed in, but he was ignoring the voice Now he's throwing on his wrinkled clothes And he knows when he goes home To that glass house with these old stones He gonna put on this mask, kiss her neck and then ask How was your night? Before she even has a chance to react He'll be fine, it isn't like this is the first time Shit, everybody needs an occasion to unwind Ain't a crime to run away from things occasionally A way to release, that's just human nature and he Pulled down the driveway, saw his daughter playing on the lawn And all his rationalization was gone I've been trying, but can't deny That these things I do, I can't justify I feel it weighing while I'm by your side I'm just flawed Yeah, I'm just flawed He was greeted with a orange juice and something to eat And a kiss on the cheek, as if he didn't just cheat Felt that shiver down his neck That's the feeling of regret As she handed him his eggs, smelling whiskey on his breath Before she had the chance to even ask him about last night He said he had some drinks and crashed on the couch at the office All this was just an obvious lie And she could feel it in her gut, but said nothing as a reply She just stared at the man that she'd given everything to And the silence built into tension that enveloped the room 'Til it was broken by the daughter saying Daddy come see this picture that I drew of you and mommy Back when you seemed so much happier, is anything wrong? Am I in trouble? No, everything is fine, they said We both love you And they both smiled as the moment occurred Like they forgot how fucking broken they were I've been trying, but can't deny That these things I do, I can't justify I feel it weighing while I'm by your side I'm just flawed Yeah, I'm just flawed He stood there in the shower With the steam filling his lungs As if the water could wash away the shit that he'd done He let it run, deep it thought about when he was young Got out and looked in the mirror back at the man he'd become Then he opened the door to see his wife on the bed On the verge of tears, looked him in the eyes and instead Of saying anything, she threw him his phone with a text read But instead of more lies, he just looked at her and said I've been trying, but can't deny That these things I do, I can't justify I feel it weighing while I'm by your side I'm just flawed Yeah, I'm just flawed I've been trying, but can't deny That these things I do, I can't justify I feel it weighing while I'm by your side I'm just flawed Yeah, I'm just flawed
