  • You're a few years overdue.
    I spent them waiting here for you.
    Now your charity's refused,
    I can name a penance for abuse.

    Twenty four years overdue,
    what kind of role model are you?
    Very least learn not to do,
    I think I might be over you.

    Do hope I won't
    Learn to make
    The same mistakes,
    That you would
    Make me aware
    That only fear,
    My only hope,
    Is letting go.

    Went on a limb for you,
    Capsized when I turned twenty two.
    Did it burn as bad for you?
    No bottle serves to soothe my wounds.

    Do hope I won't
    Learn to make
    The same mistakes,
    That you would
    Make me aware
    That only fear,
    My only hope,
    Is letting go.
    My only hope
    Is letting go.

    You're a few years overdue.
    I spent them waiting here for you. Writer/s: JAMES DEWEES, JAMES SUPTIC, MATTHEW PATRICK PRYOR, ROB POPE, RYAN POPE
