[Verse 1]
She was born by the meadows
Momma was a rebel child
Trailer parks in the ghetto
Her old man never let her out the house
30 pack and some cigarettes
Split between the two every night
Fighting and they bickering
Then they throw their fists again
All the neighbors hear it when she cries
And she cried

[Pre-Chorus]
Lord, where'd you go?
I need to know

[Chorus]
Building bridges over troubled waters, ohh
Hey man, that's somеbody's daughter, ohh
And she cried, morе cover girl, more cover girl, more
Tellin' everybody that she ran into the door
This bridge is over troubled waters, ohh
Let you go, let you go

[Bridge]
Why you gotta be this way?
Why you always leave and tell me to stay?
Why you always bring your boys around?
Don't you see my face?
When you gon' help me with your daughters?
She's so precious
Don't neglect her, please protect her
'Cause she needs a father, don't be reckless
She'd been our blessing since the day the reverend blessed her
[Verse 2]
Why I always come home to this extra, huh?
Can't you see that I'm stressin'?
Why you always stressin' me?
I called and said I'm late, yo, I even you left messages
You probably should just wait before you start suggestin' shit
Always threatenin', 'cause we got all these problems bitch
I'm sorry I called you "bitch"
And that was it, she snapped
She gave a slap, he didn't act
She gave a push, he pushed her back
Heard a crack
And now she cryin'
And the cryin' turn to silence
Silence turns to sirens
And he cried

[Pre-Chorus]
Lord, where'd you go?
I need to know

[Chorus]
Building bridges over troubled waters, ohh
Hey man, that's somebody's daughter, ohh
And she cried, more cover girl, more cover girl, more
Tellin' everybody that she ran into the door
This bridge is over troubled waters, ohh
Let you go, let you go
[Verse 3]
Okay, so fuck this shit
I ain't perfect, I'm done with this
Yeah, I know I did some dirt
I hurt some folks, can't run from this
Was a troubled kid
I blamed that on my dad, that I grew up like this
No family, he was like, "Fuck you kids"
And when he did come around he always threw a couple fists
Like Merry Christmas
That's my past, a few bad moments
An accident, but I'm hopeless
And it still weigh on my shoulders
It's a sad story, I'm broken
But the Devil's love is potent
Seem like all my love got stolen
'Cause I only love when it's over
Sorry baby, I'm so sorry that I hurt you
It's too late to feel concerned, but you ain't deserve it
And I hate to feel this burn when I see you through these metal curtains
It took you this long for you to hit me
I hope your father forgive me, girl, RIP

[Outro]
Building bridges over troubled waters, ohh
Hey man, that's somebody's daughter, ohh
And she cried, more cover girl, more cover girl, more
Tellin' everybody that she ran into the door
This bridge is over troubled waters, ohh
Building bridges over troubled waters, ohh
Hey man, that's somebody's daughter, ohh
And she cried, more cover girl, more cover girl, more
Tellin' everybody that she ran into the door
This bridge is over troubled waters, ohh
Let you go, let you go
