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 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's 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 of this family I thought I'd make your proud But you're nowhere to be found Maybe you'll live it down 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
