Cockroach

from Tortoise by Michael Hahn

about

A lot of people think this song is about an ex-girlfriend... but it's actually about my mom. Take that as you will. This is still my favorite song that I have ever written.

lyrics

i will leave this place
never to return again
all the things you say
you always try to get me
to stay

no matter what you do
i always will return
i'm always in your mind
and in your heart
i'll always
return

i won't leave again
always be here
watching you sitting there so beautiful
smoke your cigarettes and ask me
"how was your day?"

i will always come back
i'll always return
