Feel it too

I don’t know what’s wrong with me  
Grandpa died but I didn’t cry  
I Feel the dread in other peoples eyes  
 
Gas on pump three  
double checked  
Each look back I see  
the stress she’s showing  
The need for overtime and sleep  
Her baby crying the dad said goodbye  
He parted ways court didn’t help  
What a surprise waking early before sunrise
raising alone tiny apartment  
scratching up change  
tears her apart And  
knowing she’s barely making way
Customers preoccupy her days
Till worries rush by  
come up With Another  
excuse to the sitter  
Can’t pay you tonight  
 
Somehow she says have a nice day  
I feel it too
I feel it too  
I feel it too  
I feel it too
 
Got in started to drive  
Veteran on the corner holding a sign  
Said he served and toured a couple times  
flight home he Lost wife suicide  
Depression set in, months flew by  
Now homeless Alone under the sky
 
Somehow he says have a nice day  
I feel it too
I feel it too  
I feel it too  
I feel it too
