Lyrics
Oh when I was younger
Reflecting on the speaker's youth
I had no worries
Expressing a carefree period in the past
When I tripped and I fell and I scuffed my knees
Recalling childhood incidents of falling
You would be there for me
Nostalgia for parental support in childhood
But now I'm eighteen
Reaching the age of eighteen
And you don't care for me
Perceived lack of parental concern at eighteen
And im missing the small things that you used to do
Longing for past gestures and actions
When you cared and loved for me
Yearning for past care and love
Like a hand on my shoulder
Recalling comforting gestures like a hand on the shoulder
Or a pat on the back
Remembering encouraging actions like a pat on the back
When I looked in your eyes and you stared at the sky
Reflecting on moments of parental pride
And said you were so damn proud of me
Expressions of parental pride in the speaker
Oh yeah
Reiterating emotions, perhaps of disappointment
I don't know what happened why you lost love for me
Questioning the cause of a shift in parental affection
Now i'm eighteen and screaming while dreaming of times
Emotional turmoil at eighteen, reminiscing about the past
That we spent just you and me
Nostalgia for shared moments between speaker and parent
With no fathers love
Feeling a lack of paternal love
I am out on my own
Embracing independence and being on one's own
As i cry all alone, as i sit by the phone
Expressing loneliness and sadness in independence
Which there's no messages left for me
Not receiving expected messages or support
Could this be the end
Speculating on the potential end of the father-son relationship
Of a father son relationship
Questioning the deterioration of the relationship
You used to give me love
Recalling past expressions of love from the father
Now just dirty looks, no hugs
Noticing a shift to negative interactions and lack of physical affection
What happened to that love we had
Wondering about the disappearance of the love once shared
Now every single days been sad
Expressing continuous sadness in daily life
Been sad
Repetition of the emotional state
No fathers
Assertion of the absence of paternal love
Love anymore
Reiteration of the lack of fatherly affection
Oh when I was younger
Revisiting the speaker's carefree youth
I had no worries
Repeating the idea of a worry-free past
When I tripped and I fell and I scuffed my knees
Recalling childhood incidents of falling
You would be there for me
Nostalgia for past parental support
Could this be the end
Repeating the speculation on the potential end of the relationship
Of a father son relationship
Reiterating concern about the relationship's deterioration
You used to give me love
Reflecting on past expressions of paternal love
Now just dirty looks, no hugs
Noting the shift to negative interactions and lack of physical affection
What happened to that love we had
Repeating the question about the disappearance of shared love
Now every single days been sad
Repetition of the expression of continuous sadness
Been sad
Further emphasis on the persistent sadness
Ooo dad
Addressing the absent father emotionally
Ooo dad
Repeating the emotional address to the father
Where have you gone
Asking about the father's whereabouts
Where have you gone
Repeating the question about the father's absence
You've gone away
Acknowledging the father's departure
You've gone away
Reiterating the acknowledgment of the father's departure
