Kristoff Krane - Paul Still Loves His Daughter lyrics

[Verse 1] He said that when he dies He wants me to flip him over Pull the gravel from his eyes And tell the family he was sober I said I couldn't lie But I pretend I didn't know about the fact that it was planned At my home the night before He jumped off the Smith bridge or at least that was his threat So I told him that if he wanted to fly Why not off a big mountain? It distracted him for long enough That he doubted his plan of offing off himself And so he asked me for a beer instead We cheered to that control Of how he escaped his own d**h Of how no one can tell him whether or not he is bipolar Or an alcoholic, drug addict, or maybe just a man Who is sad because he had a daughter who died in a crash one summer He was scared to tell his parents because they were Catholic He thought that they would judge him for the wrong that he had did He was scared to tell his parents cuz he thought they wouldn't understand Colorado 1992, love's sick! So in search of meaning and a grand purpose to live he joined the American army Where they train you how to k** He learned of how they failed to mention that there may also be means To getting hooked on shooting things Like methamphetamine at will He returned with money and some bad habits he couldn't break He fell in love and shoved the past so far under Overwhelmed with things that placed him in a trap And when he got home he found out that the one he loved had stole all the cash (2x) [Bridge] So he had to wire money That he borrowed from his mother To take her off life support Paul still loves his daughter [Hook] Oh paul still loves his daughter Cuz just the other day He began to cry And tried to look the other way And say that it must be the weather Or the mental illness that he has I listened the best that I could Paul still loves his daughter [Verse 2] He said that when he dies He wants me to flip him over Pull the gravel from the eyes And tell the family he's in heaven I asked him if he's sure that heavens real He said he wouldn't know So I asked him if he thought his plan was a bit risky He said he didn't care Because there wasn't a chance in the world For him to remain happy for longer than 30 seconds I said I can't imagine how it feels to feel so hopeless How I hoped that he could sense that someone he loved cared for him [Outro] Oh Paul still loves his daughter (4x) I pulled the gravel from his eyes and told the family he's okay
