I’ll try to find an easy way to say
I’m a product of a big mistake
Nine months later I was on my way to a different home in a different state
To a different mother with a different name
And a father who would love me the same
Seven years later I would hear them say “we’ll be back in a week she’s on the way”

Was it too late did you tell the truth?
Does it keep you up or eat away at you?
Do you ever wonder if I grew into a man that looks like him or looks like you?
Turned out fine and I’m happy too
With a family that’s tried and true
I was raised to accept and I think I do
But every now and then I feel it too

Curiosity is commonplace
Will I ever get to see your face
Blood related raised separately
But if we crossed paths would it make waves
I've pictured you a thousand ways
I just wanna know if you left the states
All the consequences being weighed
It could end a thousand ways

Raised to accept and I think I do
And I respect what you’re going through
Our past is just a sketch of what we do
And our future’s made of lines and colors we let bleed through

Was it too late did you tell the truth
Does it keep you up or eat away at you
Do you ever wonder if I grew into a man that looks like him or looks like you
Turned out fine and I’m happy too
With a family that’s tried and true
I was raised to accept and I think I do
But every now and then I feel it too
