SinSay, Marie-Ève Dulude - Kyle lyrics
[SinSay, Marie-Ève Dulude - Kyle lyrics]
Let me tell you a story
About a kid called Kyle
Not the brightest boy
But damnit he had heart
He always skipped class
Never found it worthwhile
The streets were now his home cuz
His home was torn apart
His parents got divorced by the
Time he turned six but let’s just say this
Divorce wasn’t peaceful
Poppa left mom, kept calling her a bitch
When the real reason they split
Is cuz poppa fooled around
Being raised in a rough
Life of shared custody
Mom said one thing, poppa said another
Kyle and his little sister named Maggie
Would always end up doing wrong
By one or the other
He loved his baby sister and
He swore to protect her
After all in this war
They only had each other
When Kyle turned sixteen
He called his mom a bitch
And now moms got another enemy in the family
Chorus
Unh, don’t do it, I wish you didn’t go
And tear your family into two clans
All I wanted, I just wanted to be loved
Where my home would be my Haven
Now he was staying full time with his poppa
He’d only see little Maggie two
Weeks in the month
One year later their poppa’s new girlfriend
Told little Maggie she dressed like a slut
Things escalated and then became violent
At which point his dad had to take a decision
Because if Maggie stayed
Then his girl wouldn’t
And that was the end of
Maggie’s stay with poppa
When Kyle was a boy
His dad would never feed him
Even though he never was no
Stranger to the bottle
He never really felt as
Though he belonged anywhere
His mom was a stranger and
His poppa was a roommate
Now mom feels that she deserves more money
She orders a court date
And arms herself with Maggie
Shes taking down poppa
He’s going to pay more alimony
Im going to let you guess whose
Going to help out daddy
Chorus
Unh, don’t do it, I wish you didn’t go
And tear your family into two clans
All I wanted, I just wanted to be loved
Where my home would be my Haven
Now little Maggie ain't so little anymore
And the only time he sees
Her is December 25th
There are so many words he’d like to her
But they’d all come out wrong
So he better with
Draw no attention, that was always his code
He always seemed to fear
That under the spotlight
His anger would aim high
Cock back and unload
And this is where our story begins to unfold
Kyle liked the drugs ‘cause they
Made him feel numb he badly needed money
So he started selling some
Couple months later, a friend needs a hookup
This chick was coming over and
Things were looking up
On that same night, Kyle’s friend called
There was panic in his voice
He seemed so appalled
He rushed to the scene
Entered and then froze
As he saw little Maggie, dead of an overdose
How am I to love
If I’ve never felt that feeling
How am I to live
If I’ve never found a meaning
Look at what you did to your kids
You should’ve been there when they needed you
But instead you chased your ex-wife
Doing everything to bring hell to her life
Now you all alone with no kids
I hope that you know it’s all your fault
You stare at your daughter
Looking for expression
But, your kid is in a coffin
Her stairway to heaven
About a kid called Kyle
Not the brightest boy
But damnit he had heart
He always skipped class
Never found it worthwhile
The streets were now his home cuz
His home was torn apart
His parents got divorced by the
