  • I cleaned out your dresser, found some joints
    My sister smoked 'em, I didn't see the point
    And everyone keeps sayin' that I look just like you
    Life don't seem so alone anymore

    The day my daddy died, I damn near quit the band
    The day my daddy died, I held my mama's hand
    I cried my tears, then dried 'em up
    Put my face inside my hands
    The day my daddy died, I became a man

    The cops came, they did not take off their shoes
    People hug me, I smell like 10,000 perfumes
    Gave away the wheelchair, you're gone, but I'm still here
    January in Detroit is cold as fuck

    The day my daddy died, I damn near quit the band
    The day my daddy died, I held my mama's hand
    I cried my tears, then dried 'em up
    Put my face inside my hands
    The day my daddy died, I became a man
    The day my daddy died, I became a man

    I love you a lot
    I love you, too
    Remind me to let you run away if you need to run places, like the basement
    I mean, that's what it's a part, isn't it? Being an individual
    Yeah, letting people go
    Yeah
    Remind me to let you go, too, if you need to
    Absolutely
    I love you
    I love you so much. You're gonna put that into a song? Writer/s: Adam Friedman, Mike Posner, Pete Kuzman
