7 Years - Lukas Graham & Mickey Guyton

We need more than Hopes and wishes For us to make it Through the night Stormy weather Weary eyes Hope to make it Through the night Before this night is over I will guide you home (Ohh) All this time you thought We'd never pay the price In the game of love You have to roll the dice My heart got seven years to life Seven years to life I've been told that Time will heal All our wounds and Our souls too No more clouds No more rain I need sun To ease my pain Before this night is over I will guide you home (Ohh) All this time you thought We'd never pay the price In the game of love You have to roll the dice My heart got seven years to life Seven years to life Ohh, ohh Ohh, ohh Ohh, ohh (Ohh) All this time you thought We'd never pay the price In the game of love You have to roll the dice My heart got seven years to life I got seven years to life

Once I was seven years old My father told me, I'll never leave again You won't be lonely Once I was seven years old I was a kid, I was seven Never knew you or knew where you would be What was the pen, too innocent? Nothing you said was making any sense I was like damn, who is this man? Standing before me saying take a chance Suddenly everything I thought I knew about the world Was taken when I shis hand I was so mad, didn't know why Why was my name all tatted on your side? Why did you mess with the bliss over me and my sister We're cool without you, doin' fine We came around, you came around Told us you would never ever leave Heart on my sleeve, letting it bleed Waiting for you again, cause I believe Once I was eleven years old My momma told me, I won't do this again Need you to go please Once I was eleven years old I wasn't there, I didn't care Moving around a lot and couldn't bare Everyone wanted to fix it and took me away From my sister to live on a prayer Breaking the law, getting expelled Didn't believe in nothing, you could tell Wanted to fail, gunnin' for jail Wanted to kill my father in a cell I was a mess, that I confess Too young to bottle this up in my chest Too young to do what I was doing Who knew that I would've been a little bit depressed Got into blow, got into dope Made an investment with nothing to show It was the only thing I had control over And it was all over whenever it go Once I was twenty years old My father wrote me Son, I'm sorry that you never got to know me Once I was twenty years old I didn't know then, and I don't know know Why it was hard for me to write it down Why it was easier to say out loud And whenever I try to write I feel a cloud Sooner or later I gave it up One way or another, can't say enough When I met my brother and told him I wanted to hear from you, that was a major bluff I was right in the middle of using, abusing and losing myself I knew not of sobriety I wasn't ready to meet him I didn't feel like I could be a role model entirely But inside of me I was like, damn I relate And I thought I could be of some help And it didn't dawn on me I couldn't be somebody's light if I don't love myself But soon I'll be sixty years old And will I still hold on To everything that happened and be so cold? Soon I'll be sixty years old Soon I'll be sixty years old

I'd give you everything I never had I hope you know that But now I have it, I don't need it, it's important that you see it Money often makes a never-home dad Is it worth all the times when I'm never here? Is it worth it when daddy can't dry your tears? Is it life or just a living? Kids and wife is not a given I wish I could be a stay-at-home dad And all the dreams I had, I Still see them in your eyes Now you can hurt me more than I've ever Been hurt before and I've been hurt before I'll live, I'll live, I'll live I'll live like this forever I still have all the wounds he left But they don't hurt no more like they hurt before I wish, I wish, I wish I wish that he could have seen you I'm gonna miss the most important things And I know that Your first words, a couple steps, at least we got so many left Your mom's so good, she never make me look bad 'Cause she knows all the times when I'm far from home In a room full of people but all alone It gets me thinkin' when we're smokin' and we're drinkin' I wish I could be a stay-at-home dad And all the dreams I had, I Still see them in your eyes Now you can hurt me more than I ever Been hurt before and I've been hurt before I'll live, I'll live, I'll live I'll live like this forever I still have all the wounds he left But they don't hurt no more like they hurt before I wish, I wish, I wish I wish that he could have seen you Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh I wish that he could have seen you Now you can hurt me more than I ever Been hurt before and I've been hurt before I'll live, I'll live, I'll live I'll live like this forever I still have all the wounds he left But they don't hurt no more like they hurt before I wish, I wish, I wish I wish that he could have seen you Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
