T.R. Dallas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Supposed to be my role model
Hold me when i cry
Play that part
And yet my eyes never dry
Saw you for who you are
You waited 4 years
Damn
All the times she cried
From my fathers mouth
Every other day a fight
Nose full of snot
Can't sleep at night
Crying about my families flaws
I swear it ain't right
I see my family is so lost
Arguing casually
Let's just take a pause

Messed up in the head because of you
Trust issues because of your view
Looking for your love in all the wrong places
My life won't all bad
Our relationship is like the spaces
Before i needed braces
Had to be somebody else
So i could stay your cell
Ohhhhhhhhhh daddy

So much hate in my heart
My heart is filled with intense hatred
Supposed to be my role model
You were supposed to be my role model
Hold me when i cry
Comfort me when I cry
Play that part
Act as if you care
And yet my eyes never dry
But I still cry and cannot stop

You made me wait for 4 years
