Only Child

Only Child Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Never even seen that side of town
Driving with the windows down
That's when daddy moved out
And we'd go over to the west side, taking the highway
Sleeping in the back seat, listening to mixtapes high

[Pre-Chorus]
And he said "I'm not coming back this time"
And I learned, oh I learned
That it's hard to cry with the sunlight in your eyes, girl
[Chorus]
You're gonna be a lonely, only
Lonely, only child
You're gonna be a lonely, only
Lonely, only child

[Verse 2]
And I started year seven, felt like seventeen
Every second weekend you'd come and pick me up
And we'd go over to the east side, back on the highway
"Alright now, listen, give me kiss goodbye"

[Pre-Chorus]
And I said "I'm not coming back this time"
And I learned, oh I learned
That it's hard to cry with the sunlight in your eyes, girl

[Chorus]
You're gonna be a lonely, only
Lonely, only child
You're gonna be a lonely, only
Lonely, only child

[Bridge]
No, I'm never going back again
Whole house sitting there empty
Two faces in that glass
Never would've treated you like that
What's there, down below?
When there's always more than you know
Same street, same mean children
Before it's done
[Chorus]
You're gonna be a lonely, only
Lonely, only child
You're gonna be a lonely, only
Lonely, only child
You're gonna be a lonely, only
Lonely, only child
You're gonna be a lonely, only
Lonely, only child
