Gradient - Don't Thank Me lyrics

[Verse 1] I thank my father for the person that I am today He and my mama gave me everything I have today He came to every single game so I was glad to play Cheering for every stolen base and every basket made And if you're askin' me, he really has some brains Mom fell in love with that, and his handsome face When I asked him any question he would answer me I'd hang on every single word that he had to say Man I had to be just like my dad ‘cause hey He was the biggest rock star for a man his age So he got me a guitar and an amp to play And my love affair with music all began this way So I'm channeling his pa**ion when I fan the flames It's his love burning in me when I command the stage Can't tell you how many times I catch myself saying “Man, that sounds like something that my dad would say” [Chorus] Because you're all that I know And in all that I do I'm grateful for every single thing we've gone through Yeah it's all true And this song's for you [Verse 2] I was always the annoying little brother In my sister's room playing with her toys when I was younger It was boisterous and fun but it was so beyond hard To get away with stealing all her Pokémon cards I don't know why we'd argue; I was fantastic I even did her the kind favor of eating all her ChapStick And I remember almost needing a hospital Visit when I stuck her favorite bead in my nostril We made golf courses out of VHS ca**ettes Hit her head on the wall when she was rockin' out to Elvis Made up a game Near & Far And flung each other ‘round the room, you can see the scars Still, in spite of the odds though it all ended up great And she just graduated from the toughest college in the state During times I miss her, I'm admiring pictures Thinkin' I couldn't have a more inspiring sister [Chorus] [Post-Chorus] And I'll carry this name with me always Livin' life in the way that they taught me So don't thank me for anything that I have done ‘Cause it's my family that made me who I've become [Bridge] And even though we didn't have a lotta capital And even though we're kind of incompatible Too much awesomeness for one house to hold I'm never lost ‘cause I've got you all and I know [Verse 3] That I'm never gonna break down I meant it when I said that I got everything okay now I wanna see what could ever cause harm to me When I got my mom with me Honestly, no one compares on this Earth Now I gotta slow it down so she can hear every word Mom When we moved from Japan to America You had to be scared but you handled it very well And when plans fell apart you were there for us, cared for us That's just a part of your character Watashi no nihongo wa jyozu jyanai kedo Boku mama tottemo daisuki dayo So whether it's Nihon or the American Republic I'll never be ashamed to hold your hand in public [Chorus + post-chorus] x2
