A Tale Lyrics – The Weeknd
A Tale Lyrics
Looking back now I didn’t know what it was supposed to be And it’s like raising kids, man If you weren’t raised, they don’t know how to raise You know?
I just did the best that i could with them Because they know fuckin’ well i love them But i didn’t do the best i could I didn’t know what the fuck i was doing I didn’t
I will never forget watching my mother Get put in a straightjacket and taken out of my home When i was only seven years old She was diagnosed with dementia praecox And put in a mental institution leaving my daddy alone with me and my little brothеr lloyd
I later had an evil stepmothеr Who further cemented the idea that I didn’t need a mother Growing up without one had long lasting impressions I didn’t fully understand until much later in life It bled into my relationships with family and those I had became romantically involved with Whenever i got too close to a woman, i would cut her off Part of that was vindictive and partially based on fear but it was also totally subconsious Looking back is a bitch innit
