Neck Deep - They May Not Mean To (But They Do) Lyrics

Godspeed, little sinner
Dragged me to church to eat Jesus Christ
I can be a little pessimistic
I can be a little critical sometimes
Can't sleep, so you whisper
Now I see through all those little lies
But I didn't know better
But now I get it

I'm sorry that I made you cry those times the cops came by
Mama tried, Mama tried

They f*ck you up, your parents do
They may not mean to, but they do
They may not mean to, but they do so
They f*ck you up, your parents do
They may not mean to, but they do
They may not mean to, but they do

Didn't raise no quitter
I'm still hooked and I think it'll kill me too
Caught myself in the mirror
And for a second, I could swear that it was you
You saw me miss a sitter
Didn't miss one game the entire time
Didn't care about the winner
Doesn't matter, as long as you've got your pride

And though we'd fight, I know they were right
They were right

They f*ck you up, your parents do
They may not mean to, but they do
They may not mean to, but they do so
They f*ck you up, your parents do
Do as I say, not as I do
When I was your age, I was just like you

So did they love too much?
Or was it not enough?
You know they're not to blame
Because we're all f*cked up

Those kids will be the death of you
They were so sweet but then they grew
And now they're f*cked up just like you, go

They f*ck you up, your parents do (f*ck you up, f*ck you up)
They may not mean to, but they do
They may not mean to, but they do so
They f*ck you up, your parents do
(They f*ck you up, they f*ck you up)
"I love you, son"
Yeah, love you too
When I grow up, yeah, I'll be just like you
