Spoon-Fed Jack ft. Melissa Kaitlyn Carter Lyrics

Waiting on a summer vacation

For Maya it's a summer salvation

For me a honeymoon delayed

For her a chance to breathe

Oh but all I've got to offer is useless

Any word of comfort is toothless

Because it's hard to be a privileged son

And provide relief

So I listen and wait

Hold her hand and kiss her head

And then let her go

Because what do I know?

I've been spoon-fed

Hope that I'm not one of the bad guys

Cause you never see my name in a headline

Or in a horror story Maya tells

When she gets home

About her principal who's crass and abusive

Department head is vulgar and clueless 

So sticking to the script

She mostly bites her lip

Cause what she says will be dismissed

Oh it breaks my heart

Then drowns it in a gallon of dread

Afraid a woman somewhere

Left something unsaid

Because I'd been spoon-fed

Oh I know

She doesn't need me to prop her up

She doesn't follow where I lead

Oh but I hope

That she feels more than my love

I hope that she feels seen

At least by me 

If I cry, I know that someone will sooth me

If I shit, I always know that I'll soon be clean

I fuck it up, I'll be forgiven 

Never question if I'm seen

But I gotta get some skin in the game now

Got a daughter on the way

When the cold comes around

Strike me down 

If any man tells her what

She can achieve

But I need help

I ask Maya, ask her what I should do 

She just shakes her head

Because I always need to be led

When I've been spoon-fed

Spoon-fed
