Classified - Accept It lyrics

Son? Son, sit down what?

When you're lying in bed with
Nothing but your thoughts, love
(Thoughts love, thoughts love)
When you're lying in bed with
Nothing but your fears, love
Yeah (Fears, love) i won't be here, love

When his Mom got cancer, he asked the doctor
"Can you fix her?"
He answered, "I don't think that I can, sir"
No way, Mom's never sick, Mom never smoked
Mom is the healthy one
All you doctors and nurses
Y'all can't tell me nothing (I don't know)
She passed a month after the chemo started
His friends and family shed their
Tears for their dearly departed
Losing his mother, man
That never crossed his mind
Figured they still had lots of time
Just like the mind's a flawed design
He thought he asked his dad
"Why can't they cure disease?"
He said, "Son
Maybe when they find a cure for greed"
He's having flashbacks to the birthday
Cakes she made him
How she looked so proud and
Celebrated after he graduated
When she told him
"Don't you marry that lying girl
I know you're dating"
And when he did, and they separated
She helped him with his kids and raised them
Appreciate it
Wish she was here when he said it
Never knew how hard that death is
But gotta learn to accept it

When you're lying in bed with
Nothing but your thoughts, love
Does it really bug you, love
Do you really want me, love
When you're lying in bed with
Nothing but your fears, love
Don't shed the tears, love
I won't be here, love

I, I been looking for you
Looking for the lies i, okay
Let me know, let me know
Let me know, let me know

He was searching for some work
Referred to the reserves took it further
Got deployed to serve his country undeterred
His wife worried, crying
When she hugged him and said goodbye
Told his kids he had to leave
But they never understood why, no
No active duty overseas
Saw some things he'd rather not remember
Friends body parts dismembered
Bombs dropped, dead children
War crimes and war cries
Sent home when he almost died from
A car bomb and a suicide
Family's just happy he's still alive
But Daddy ain't the same
Can't adjust back to his normal life
'Cause right now it don't seem important
Compared to the war and
Little things like paying bills
Being a father, he ignored 'em
He asked the doctor help him
Xanax for depression that just numbed him
Temporarily, more reclusive, less aggressive
Got addicted, doctor knew it and he
Cut off his prescription
Couldn't take it, started stealing
Hit the streets to get his fixing
His wife couldn't forgive him, she tried
But had to kick him out
Now he panhandles on Yonge Street with
A in front of Subway with a sign that says
"Can't you spare change for a veteran?"
His wife would change it in a second
But she can't and she accepts it

When you're lying in bed with
Nothing but your thoughts, love
Does it really bug you, love
Do you really want me, love
When you're lying in bed with
Nothing but your fears, love
Don't shed the tears, love
I won't be here, love

I, I been looking for you
Looking for the lies i, okay
Let me know, let me know
Let me know, let me know

Ooh, let me know ooh, ooh
Let me know, let me know
Let me know, let me know
He was shocked and in denial
Pain and the guilt anger and the bugging
And reflecting on himself
Depression was setting in
He's finally accepting it
Just trying to make it through
The stages of grief
