about

A song I wrote about navigating life after losing a parent. A song about grief and healing and vulnerability.

lyrics

Tell Me How (education) - you can’t just get up and leave babe / it gets old / won’t you fight until your dying day / if you never strike gold / I thought there’d be a heaven / when I lost my father / but all I got was silence / pretty young thing shock hurts like a heartburn / so go harder and let loose / someone’s gotta pay for that education / The Lost Art of Pulling Through / someones gotta tell me how / to breathe harder from the noose / no ones gonna pay for that education / The Lost Art of Pulling Through / someone’s gotta tell me how / we believed we were something / because that’s what we were told / built your life on a promise / well what do we know / if I was betting woman / I would have listened to my brothers / pretty young thing shock hurts like a heartburn / and I know you can’t believe it //
