lyrics

It's My Job to Care

You're the same age as my daughter, or you would be if I'd ever had kids,
the age I planned to in my 30's.
It's your job to visit me a couple hours most weekdays when you ask me how I'm feeling typically I'll say not great

In the hope that you would stay here
Cos I fucking hate the weekends

I bought myself a card for Father's Day I wrote your name inside it sits the centre of my living room to catch visitors eyes.

The centre of the mantle

When you came around today I saw your eye makeup was running, asked you what the matter was and you fake laughed and said "oh nothing"

So I listened to your voicemail
While you freshed up in the bathroom.

I wish that you would call me up when I didn't expect it
I wish you'd drop around the house more often and for longer
I want to tell you that I love you but I'm afraid of what might happen
I'm terrified I might scare you off or something
I'm scared that I might cross some boundaries or something

I listen to the message and it's your no good boyfriend
And he's screaming blue murder about how you had it coming

He didn't want to hurt you
But you pushed him till he had to.

I wedge a chair against the bathroom door, let myself out real quiet
You left your car keys and your cigarettes out but I promise you I'll buy

A fresh new pack of 20
And a full tank of unleaded

I'm gonna put your cigarettes out on that cowards tongue
I swear I'm gonna tear his fucking throat out when I'm done
I guess it's obvious I love you but I don't care about what happens
I'm terrified I might scare you off for something
I'm scared that I might cross some boundaries or something.
