I was six years old
Running from the sound in my nightgown
screaming through the walls
He was angry, she was trying, I could hear it all
TV up loud as it could go
Just another night at home
You were raising hell
can't forget the smell soaked into your clothes
100 proof that burnt through that cigarette smoke
Always knew before you spoke
How the night was gonna go

Now you're diving, saying you're a different man
But who you were, it made me who I am

I still remember you
Blacked out, face down, asleep in your car
And the violence, the sirens that rang in the dark
And the last straw, the worst of all
the breaking of my mother's heart
And now since December you've shown up
say you're grown up, you just want to see us
You woke up sober, said you found Jesus
You don't understand why I still hate the man that came back
But you can talk to God about that

It was nine years ago
It was broken glass, it was getting bad, didn't wanna go
But she couldn't stay just to see the day
she'd find you on the floor
She couldn't do it anymore

And you swear you'll never be that man again
But who you were, it made me who I am

And I still remember you
Blacked out, face down, asleep in your car
And the violence, the sirens that rang in the dark
And the last straw, the worst of all
the breaking of my mother's heart
And now since December you've shown up
say you're grown up, you just wanna see us
You woke up sober, said you found Jesus
You don't understand why I still hate the man that came back
But you can talk to God about that

You can talk to God about that
You can talk to God about that
Yeah, you can talk, you can talk, you can talk to God about
The mother, the brother, the family you broke
And the daughter who grew up trusting no one
And the bruises on her skin
the wholes that you left in the walls
You can talk to God about it all
Oh, oh (you can talk to God about that)
Oh, oh (you can talk to God about that, you can talk to God)
You can talk to God about it all
