Grapefruit - Aaron West and The Roaring Twenties

Hey, Holy Ghost, why’d you leave me?

Where’d you go?

I know we ain’t spoke in so long, but I gotta know if I’m alone

If I start drinking, I’m gonna be the town drunk

You always said I should lighten up, I’m gonna lighten up

I’m gonna lighten up

So long.

Yeah, I’m sorry that I wasn’t who you want

If I can’t make you happy, I’m no good for anyone

So long.

Yeah, I’m sorry that I wasn’t who you want

If I can’t make you love me…

I shut you out after the funeral, mired in doubt

You thought a family would help

I was struggling.

You could tell

When we got the news that you were pregnant

We painted a room pink and orange like a grapefruit

I know how bad you wanted this too

I know it killed you

In all my dreams, I’m in the house that I grew up in

I’m trying to be half the man I know my dad is, or was

I see me as a father looking over a daughter who grew up to be just like you

And now that’s just a thread I can’t hold onto

Just an open wound

So long.

Yeah, I’m sorry that I wasn’t who you want

If I can’t make you happy, I’m no good for anyone

So long.

Yeah, I’m sorry that I wasn’t who you want

If I can’t make you love me…

Hey, Holy Ghost, why’d you leave me?

Where’d you go?

Right when I fucking need you, I’m all alone.

I’m all alone

So, I’ll start drinking.

Yeah, I’ll be the town drunk

I’ll be a burden on everyone.

On everyone.

On everyone
