Got up and left without a warning
A pregnant woman, on easter morning
You were never anything to miss
Cause to me you did not exist
But for that woman and that boy you left
I'm saying this
But for that woman and that boy you left
I'm saying this

I'll wear the bright pink tie
you wore that day
I'll make the promises you failed to make
I'll be the man you'll never be
And you won't be around to see
The man my mother made of me
With love my brother set me free
I'll be the man you'll never be
And you'll have no part of this family

Your body is failing, heart is breaking
But you're too far gone now
you're not worth saving
You never put yourself aside
you just keep bringing seed to life
So I won't be at your bedside
to watch you close your eyes and die
So I won't be at your bedside
to hold your hand and say goodbye

I'll wear the bright pink tie
you wore that day
I'll make the promises
you failed to make
I'll be the man you'll never be
And you won't be around to see
The man my mother made of me
With love my brother set me free
I'll be the man you'll never be
And you'll have no part

No, I thought I'd make you proud
But no, you're nowhere to be found
And no, maybe you'll live it down
And no, the day that you skipped town

I'll wear the bright pink tie
you wore that day
I'll make the promises
you failed to make
I'll be the man you'll never be
And you won't be around to see
The man my mother made of me
With love my brother set me free
I'll be the man you'll never be
And you'll have no part of this family
