Lyrics
[intro]
[verse]
(Instrumental Solo)
[verse]
You were my hero when I turned five
Then the whole world took a downward dive
Weekends slipped without your face
Just another shift to fill your space
[verse]
No flashy phone to show off proud
No game console in our quiet house
Birthdays boiled down to one small thing
A lopsided cupcake, frosting thin
[chorus]
Mom was the one who held my hand
You were a bee that stung my plans
"Don't do this, don't do that" your only song
You stole my bliss, where did my joy belong?
I didn't see a friend in you
Just a stranger I grew to hate and outgrew
No more cupcakes, no more lies
I'm done with you, I'm saying goodbye
[verse]
I broke the rules, took what wasn't mine
Got the slap that left my cheek on fire
I fought in rings, let my rage take flight
Clipped my own wings, burned every light
I swore I'd never see your face again
Toughened my skin, let my grind begin
No more cupcakes on my plate
I sealed your memory behind a gate
[verse]
I grew up wild, like an ocean wave
While you hid quiet in your cave
I built a life, got my own kids
Got all the things my younger self once bid
Now they're teens, and the pain hits hard
I'm staring at the scars I thought were marred
Suddenly I'm craving that old taste
The lopsided cupcake, time can't erase
[chorus]
I missed the note, missed the hidden truth
You were the GOAT, I was just a fool
You put food on the table, roof over my head
Loved me quiet, where my anger led
That slap you gave was a wake-up call
Kept me from crashing through the wall
Now I'm on my knees, begging please
Can you bake me that cupcake, if you please?
[verse]
You worked all night, fought every odd
Did what was right, even when it was hard
Rode the bus, never made a fuss
Broke your knee, but never missed the bus
Every scar, every calloused hand
Was all for me, your stubborn, angry man
Now the table's set, the oven's warm
Let's split that cupcake, weather every storm(Instrumental Solo)
