Flawed (feat. Skrizzly Adams)

[00:00.03] It's hard to be scared of a little thunder
[00:05.20] When you've spent your whole life waiting in the rain
[00:11.47] Yeah, you reminisce, just grin, look back and wonder
[00:17.56] If you're ever gonna feel that way again
[00:21.12] Yeah, but you sit all at home, you're waiting
[00:28.10] But I've got a long way to go
[00:33.55] Just hold on 'til the stars start fading
[00:39.51] Just feel like I'm almost home
[00:43.97] Yeah, there's no tendency that I can see
[00:48.21] To get you off my mind
[00:50.66] I'm just flawed
[00:53.28] No, I'm just flawed
[00:55.99] Sirens went off in his head
[00:57.87] Still half drunk in a foreign bed
[00:59.70] Said he'd be home after work, but he went to the bar instead
[01:02.73] And instead of with his wife, he woke up with this new acquaintance
[01:05.42] He met after seven shots and a couple of beers to chase it
[01:08.51] Basically he was wasted, but there's always a choice
[01:11.18] Reason chimed in, but he was ignoring the voice
[01:14.00] Now he's throwing on his wrinkled clothes
[01:15.85] And he knows when he goes home
[01:17.65] To that glass house with these old stones
[01:19.85] He gonna put on this mask, kiss her neck and then ask
[01:22.45] How was your night? Before she even has a chance to react
[01:25.48] He'll be fine, it isn't like this is the first time
[01:28.42] Shit, everybody needs an occasion to unwind
[01:31.22] Ain't a crime to run away from things occasionally
[01:33.93] A way to release, that's just human nature and he
[01:36.58] Pulled down the driveway, saw his daughter playing on the lawn
[01:39.63] And all his rationalization was gone
[01:42.80] I've been trying, but can't deny
[01:47.82] That these things I do, I can't justify
[01:53.83] I feel it weighing while I'm by your side
[01:59.28] I'm just flawed
[02:01.87] Yeah, I'm just flawed
[02:05.45] He was greeted with a orange juice and something to eat
[02:08.19] And a kiss on the cheek, as if he didn't just cheat
[02:11.13] Felt that shiver down his neck
[02:12.57] That's the feeling of regret
[02:14.06] As she handed him his eggs, smelling whiskey on his breath
[02:17.15] Before she had the chance to even ask him about last night
[02:20.23] He said he had some drinks and crashed on the couch at the office
[02:23.35] All this was just an obvious lie
[02:25.34] And she could feel it in her gut, but said nothing as a reply
[02:28.30] She just stared at the man that she'd given everything to
[02:31.06] And the silence built into tension that enveloped the room
[02:33.97] 'Til it was broken by the daughter saying
[02:35.71] Daddy come see this picture that I drew of you and mommy
[02:38.68] Back when you seemed so much happier, is anything wrong?
[02:41.75] Am I in trouble?
[02:42.51] No, everything is fine, they said
[02:44.53] We both love you
[02:45.61] And they both smiled as the moment occurred
[02:48.07] Like they forgot how fucking broken they were
[02:51.49] I've been trying, but can't deny
[02:56.49] That these things I do, I can't justify
[03:02.49] I feel it weighing while I'm by your side
[03:07.82] I'm just flawed
[03:10.43] Yeah, I'm just flawed
[03:13.48] He stood there in the shower
[03:15.05] With the steam filling his lungs
[03:16.74] As if the water could wash away the shit that he'd done
[03:19.50] He let it run, deep it thought about when he was young
[03:22.39] Got out and looked in the mirror back at the man he'd become
[03:25.32] Then he opened the door to see his wife on the bed
[03:28.28] On the verge of tears, looked him in the eyes and instead
[03:30.95] Of saying anything, she threw him his phone with a text read
[03:34.12] But instead of more lies, he just looked at her and said
[03:37.11] I've been trying, but can't deny
[03:42.12] That these things I do, I can't justify
[03:48.19] I feel it weighing while I'm by your side
[03:53.57] I'm just flawed
[03:56.15] Yeah, I'm just flawed
[04:00.04] I've been trying, but can't deny
[04:05.01] That these things I do, I can't justify
[04:10.95] I feel it weighing while I'm by your side
[04:16.30] I'm just flawed
[04:19.18] Yeah, I'm just flawed
[04:21.06]
