Driveway Conversations

Disowned, and abandoned!
What you did is not what you said!
Demanding agreement from one you call kid!

It was all talk, none of it meant a word
I thought I’d be out on my own
But you kept me around
Five years of drug abuse
Went unnoticed under your nose
And into mine
Oblivious and ignorant, how did you not realize
What was happening to me?
I kept a clean act, and a clean smile
Under wraps the act was kept

It’s alright… It’s alright… It’s alright!

A code of ethics that differed between generations
Could have caused the uproar of a lifetime

It’s alright… It’s alright… It’s alright!

But instead led to a driveway conversation
Ending in compliance and understanding
Where? (did I go wrong?)
Going against every piece of advice
You utilized for as far back as time allowed
Meant nothing in your backwards eyes
You’re not the same as you were years ago
I don’t know whether to be pleasantly surprised
Or oddly concerned, where did you go wrong?
Disowned, and abandoned!
What you did is not what you said!
Demanding agreement from one you call kid!
Where did you go wrong? (Where?!)
Where did I go wrong? (Where?!)
Where did you go wrong? (Where?!)
Where did I go wrong? (Where?!)
Oh!
