They say I grew up wrong, but it was all I ever knew
I swear, I gave it everything I had
But then you turned 18 and headed to Toronto with a dream
I stood there watching how you never once looked back
Even the drug dealers here would tell you times are tough
The hard living catches up with you 'til you say enough's enough
If you fall along the way, then darlin' promise me
That if you're gonna lie to get something, then lie to get something you need
When the company pulled out, your mother swore she'd find a way
Your father, he just sold her wedding ring
And I'm still living here and living with the words you told to me
Despite it all, you know I still care what you think
