Lyrics for Grapefruit

Hey, Holy Ghost, why'd you leave me? Where'd you go? I know we ain't spoke in so long, but I've gotta know, if I'm alone. If I start drinking, I'm gonna be the town drunk. You always said I should lighten up, I'm gonna lighten up. I'm gonna lighten up. So long. I'm sorry that I wasn't who you want. If I can't make you happy, I'm no good for anyone. So long. I'm sorry that I wasn't who you you'd want. If I cant make you love me. I shut you out, After the funeral, mired in doubt. You thought a family would help. I was struggling. You could tell. When we got the news, That you were pregnant, We painted a room, Pink and orange like a grapefruit. I know how bad you wanted this too. I know it killed you. In all my dreams, I'm in the house that I grew up in. I'm trying to be half the man I know my dad is, or was. I see me as a father looking over a daughter, Who grew up to be just like you And now, that's just a thread I can't hold onto. It's just an open wound. So long. I'm sorry that I wasn't who you want. If I can't make you happy, I'm no good for anyone. So long. I'm sorry that I wasn't who you'd want. If I cant make you love me. Hey, Holy Ghost, Why'd you leave me? Where'd you go? Right when I fucking need you, I'm all alone. I'm all alone. So, I'll start drinking. Yeah, I'll be the town drunk. I'll be a burden on everyone.
