Lyrics
Find another song[Verse 1]
You hung up the phone
And I asked you what was wrong
Your dad has come to town
He'd like to meet
I said "You don't have to see him"
But for whatever reason you can't tell him no
[Verse 2]
So we meet him at a bar
You were holding my hand hard
He ordered rum and coke
I can't drink either anymore
He hadn't seen you since the fifth grade
Now you're nineteen and you're five-eight
He said "Honey, you sure look great
Do you get the checks I send on your birthday?"
[Chorus]
I would kill him
If you let me
I would kill him
Quick and easy
Your nails are digging
Into my knee
I don't know
How you keep smiling
[Verse 3]
I lovе your eyes
And he has thеm
But you have his
'Cause he was first
I imagine my thumbs on the irises
Pressing in until they burst
[Verse 4]
I clear my throat
And say we ought to get home
He offers us a ride
I reply "No, that's alright"
When we leave
You feel him watching
So we walk a mile in the wrong direction
[Chorus]
I would kill him
If you let me
I would kill him
Quick and easy
Your nails are digging
Into my knee
I don't know
How you keep smiling
I don't know
How you keep smiling
I don't know
How you keep smiling
[Outro]
I wanna take your face between my hands and say
"You two are connected by pure coincidence
Bound to him by blood, but baby, it's all relative
You've been in his fist ever since you were a kid
You don't owe him shit even if he said you did
You don't owe him shit even if he said you did"
