Stoeter - Jail Rehab Relapse Lyrics

I still remember when Grandpa tried to take you to rehab
And I cried and pleaded for you not to go cause I didn't want you to leave Dad
And once me and Grandpa started arguing, you ended up leaving
On a broken bicycle, pedaled down the road, left me alone and grieving
That next day you wound up in jail you got high again and relapsed
And for the longest time every part of me, truthfully believed that
It was my fault I created your escape and your fleeing
If not for me you could've seeked help and maybe been clean and
I mean this was like 03 yeah, right before your jail spurts
The little kid me in was so broken hearted you didn't see how he hurt
Crying in my closet cause every night I felt like
It was me that turned you into this monster who needed the crack

Jail rehab relapse spin cycle repeat
Thought you'd never get clean Dad, speaking truthfully
Jail rehab relapse spin cycle repeat
Thought you'd never get clean Dad, speaking truthfully
It's story time and this how the story goes
Time for me to tell my story and finally cleanse my soul
Jail rehab relapse spin cycle repeat
Thought you'd never get clean Dad, speaking truthfully

One verse ain't enough for this but I'll try my best to fit it in
My freshman year you said you'd pick me up but I didn't trust you then
After years telling me you'd be there you never showed I gave up hope
With your jail time and relapse it took its toll
But anyways you said that you'd pick me up from school
We'd go hit some baseballs and could practice on some moves
When the bell rang I ran to the parking lot
And if you weren't there I had to hustle back just so I could hit the bus
With my baseball bag in hand you were first in line with yo' windows down
Tears filled up my eyes but I couldn't let you see em now
All you did was hit grounders to me but that's all it took to make me proud
For one day I had my father back, playing catch I could finally smile

Jail rehab relapse spin cycle repeat
Thought you'd never get clean Dad, speaking truthfully
Jail rehab relapse spin cycle repeat
Thought you'd never get clean Dad, speaking truthfully
It's story time and this how the story goes
Time for me to tell my story and finally cleanse my soul
Jail rehab relapse spin cycle repeat
Thought you'd never get clean Dad, speaking truthfully
