Liz Fullerton - Same Story lyrics

[Intro] They say that things just cannot grow Beneath the winter snow And so I have been told [Verse 1] You came into my mother's life at the right time More than a step-father, more of like a lifeline She ain't really had happiness since my pop died She was living but living is always not alive And my momma should be treated like a queen You gave her everything she ever needed like a queen Probably the most gentle G I ever seen The love y'all shared I never seen in human beings Y'all were together twelve years, never no fights Not even a little argument, that was so nice Three of us eating dinner together most nights Working seven days a week, that ain't no life But never once did I hear you complain Even when they let you go never hear you with blame It take a real man to walk through the rain He was a real man who got sick and fought through the pain [Hook] They say that things just cannot grow Beneath the winter snow And so I have been told They say we're very far Just like a distant star I simply cannot hold [Verse 2] I walked in that morning and knew something was wrong I tried to talk to you Rock, you didn't respond I called 9-1-1 and then ran for my moms Waiting for the ambulance and I tried to be calm Moms went with you, I stayed and held down the fort I was nervous, I was crying and really distraught I was alone by myself, just left with my thoughts Mommy called, told me that you had a stroke and fought I ain't seen a hospital since my father died I don't like it there, memories is locked inside When I walked inside the room we started to cry I was just so happy that you was alive And you told you how much that you hate the hospital And that they thieves are trying to keep their pockets full I think I hold myself a little bit responsible When you was smoking all the time I wasn't stopping you Nevertheless you came home and that was real A lot of therapy and doctors gave you lots of pills You couldn't thrive anymore, you had to stop and chill And that's too much for anybody that can stop your will But you never got back to your norm You was proud, didn't want any help from my mom I left for tour and you asked me how long I'd be gone And I could see inside your eyes you knew something was wrong I got back mommy told me you was sick again Couldn't believe that we was going through this sh** again I love you Rock and I'm always gonna miss you friend And for me it's just the same story, different pen [Hook x2]
