🍕The Man That Came Back - Jessie Murph (Lyrics)

🍕Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
I was six years old
Running from the sound in my nightgown, screamin' through the walls
He was angry, she was tryin', I could hear it all
TV up loud as it could go
Just another night at home
You were raisin' hell, can't forget the smell soaked into your clothes
Hundred proof that burnt through that cigarette smoke
Always knew before you spoke, how the night was gonna go

[Pre-Chorus]
Now you dive in, sayin' you're a different man

[Chorus]
I still remember you
Blacked out, face down, asleep in your car
And the violence, the sirens that rang in the dark
And the last straw, the worst of all, the breakin' of my mother's heart
And now since December
You've shown up, say I've grown up, you just want to see us
You woke up sober, said you found Jesus
You don't understand why I still hate the man that came back
But you can talk to God about that

[Verse 2]
It was nine years ago
It was broken glass, it was gettin' bad, didn't wanna go
But she couldn't stay just to see the day she'd find you on the floor
She couldn't do it anymore

[Pre-Chorus]
And you swear you'll never be that man again
But who you were, it made me who I am

[Chorus]
And I still remember you
Blacked out, face down, asleep in your car
And the violence, the sirens that rang in the dark
And the last straw, the worst of all, the breakin' of my mother's heart
And now since December
You've shown up, say I've grown up, you just wanna see us
You woke up sober, said you found Jesus
You don't understand why I still hate the man that came back
But you can talk to God about that
You can talk to God about that
You can talk to God about that

[Outro]
Yeah, you can talk, you can talk, you can talk to God about
The mother, the brother, the family you broke
And the daughter who grew up trusting no one
And the bruises on her skin, the holes that you left in the walls
You can talk to God about it all
Oh, oh (You can talk to God about that)
Oh, oh (You can talk to God about that)
(You can talk to God about that)
You can talk to God about it all
