[Verse 1]
My sister's doin' her best
But every time her dad gets dressed
Her mama goes to smoke a cigarette
It's kinda hard to pretend
It isn't valid 'cause what happens
If he has a heart attack again
While he's balancin' checks?
To put some food up on the table
Keep the family goin' stable
And I'm takin' a breath
Keepin' peace and watchin' cable
Gonna get out when I'm able
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, that was the show
I didn't know
That when you grow up in a home
Where evеry door's closed
You feel so alone
[Chorus]
I'm just doin' the bеst I can, mm
They were doin' their best back then, mm
And I know it's not okay
But in a way, I understand
'Cause I'm doin' the best I can, mm
Family, man
My sister's doin' her best
But every time her dad gets dressed
Her mama goes to smoke a cigarette
It's kinda hard to pretend
It isn't valid 'cause what happens
If he has a heart attack again
While he's balancin' checks?
To put some food up on the table
Keep the family goin' stable
And I'm takin' a breath
Keepin' peace and watchin' cable
Gonna get out when I'm able
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, that was the show
I didn't know
That when you grow up in a home
Where evеry door's closed
You feel so alone
[Chorus]
I'm just doin' the bеst I can, mm
They were doin' their best back then, mm
And I know it's not okay
But in a way, I understand
'Cause I'm doin' the best I can, mm
Family, man
