Accept It (Acoustic) - Classified/Brett Matthews
Lyrics by:Luke Boyd
Composed by:Luke Boyd/Ruby Rose Komisar
When you're lying in bed with nothing
But your thoughts love
Thoughts love thoughts love
When you're lying in bed with nothing
But your fears love
Fears love
When they said his mom got cancer
He asked the doctor
Can you fix her
He answered
I don't think that I can Sir
Nah no way mom's never sick
Mom never smoked
Mom is the healthy one
All you doctors and nurses
Y'all can't tell me nothin'
She passed a month after the chemo started
Her friends and family shed their tears
For their dearly departed
Losing his mother man
That never crossed his mind
Figured they still had lots of time
Just like the mind's a flawed design
He thought
When you're lying in bed
He asked his dad
Why can't they cure disease
He said son maybe
When they find a cure for greed
He's having flashbacks to the birthday cakes
She made him
How she looked so proud
And celebrated after he graduated
When she told him
Don't you marry that lying girl
I know you're dating
And when he did and they separated
She helped him with his kids and raised them
Appreciate it wish she was here when he said it
Never knew how hard that death is
But gotta learn to accept it
When you're lying in bed with nothing
But your thoughts love
Does it really bug you love
When you're lying in bed with nothing
But your fears love
Don't shed no tears love
'Cause I I've been longing for you
For those eyes
I
Let me know let me know
Let me know let me know
He was searching for some work
Referred to the reserves
Took it further
Got deployed to serve his country undeterred
His wife worried crying
When she hugged him and said goodbye
Told his kids he had to leave
But they never understood why no
When you're lying in bed
Active duty overseas
Seen some things he'd rather not remember
Friends body parts dismembered
Bombs dropped dead children
War crimes and war cries
Sent home when he almost died from a car
Bomb and a suicide
Family's just happy he's still alive
But Daddy ain't the same
Can't adjust back to his normal life
'Cause right now it don't seem important
Compared to the war and
Little things like paying bills being a father
He ignored 'em
He asked the doctor help him
Xanax for depression
That just numbed him temporarily
More reclusive less aggressive
Got addicted doctor knew it
And he cut off his prescription
Couldn't take it started stealing
Hit the streets to get his fixing
His wife couldn't forgive him
She tried but had to kick him out
Now he panhandles on Yonge Street in front of Subway
With a sign that says
Can't you spare change for a veteran
His wife would change it in a second
But she can't
And she accepts it
When you're lying in bed with nothing
But your thoughts love
Does it really bug you love
When you're lying in bed with nothing
But your fears love
Don't shed no tears love
'Cause I I've been longing for you
For those eyes
I
Let me know let me know
Let me know let me know
Oooh oooh oooh
