Old Man Lyrics

I would forgive you
I'd bake you chocolate cakes
I'd pet your old man head and tell you everything's okay
See, I'm not like your supporters
I don't want you for your wealth
I don't see you as a means to an end so your deteriorating health
It makes me sad
It makes me sad to see
'Cause I know I'd be terrified if it were me

You look just like my grandpa a year before he died
You look like someone's dad
You look so fucking tired
And if you'd let go of all this ugliness
You'd finally learn that evеryone deservеs to rest

But you've gone above and beyond
To make sure this isn't so
Just so that when you die
You'll have won the right to do it all alone

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
