Profanity, alcohol use, grief, mature emotional themes
Detailed Analysis
These lyrics deal with several mature themes that make them more suitable for teenagers and older audiences. The most notable concern is the use of profanity, specifically the f-word and a derogatory term for women ('hoes') in the context of a father-son conversation. There are also references to alcohol use ('get fucked up every night'), grief over the deaths of friends, and emotional struggles including an implied inability to cry and a strained relationship with God. The romantic relationship depicted is emotionally complex, involving indecision, longing, and communication breakdown. There is no sexual content or violence. The overall message touches on emotional vulnerability, mental health, grief, and relationship struggles, which are themes that older teens and adults are better equipped to process. The casual normalization of heavy drinking and the misogynistic language from the father figure are the primary concerns for younger audiences.

Lyrics
Yeah Girl, I can't decide if I should stay and say I tried Or I should leave and say goodbye It's killin' me inside If I could just get next to you, I'd probably be alright But we're so busy in this life We always say, "Some other time" Why won't my tears work? It's been a decade since I've cried I got no dog left in the fight The bark don't match the bite Me and my old man, we just get fucked up every night He said, "Son, these hoes just don't love you" I said, "I'll keep that in mind" Those ain't words to live by, wouldn't call that sound advice Our future doesn't sound too bright But I just nod and say, "You're right," I do Girl, I can't decide if I should stay and say I tried Or I should leave and say goodbye It's killin' me inside And all my (my) presents to show my affection Flowers and diamonds and jets through the sky I'm not here to teach you a lesson (no) I'm just a caring and passionate guy Talks with your friends got you changin' your vibe Talks with your friends got you changin' Talks with your friends got you changin' your vibe Talking to your friends Girl, I miss my friends, you know too much of them have died I wish that they were still alive Just to see the silver lines This year, me and God, we wasn't seein' eye to eye I prayed to her from time to time She was busy on another vibe I can't vent to you through no text message and reply I need to see you face to face Gotta look you in the eye, I do Girl, I can't decide if I should stay and say I tried Or I should leave and say goodbye It's killin' me inside And all my presents to show my affection Flowers and diamonds and jets through the sky I'm not here to teach you a lesson (no, no) I'm just a caring and passionate guy Talks with your friends got you changin' your vibe Talks with your friends got you changin' Talks with your friends got you changin' your vibe Talking to your friends Another misunderstanding, of course I pushed you away 'cause that's what I could afford We felt way too true and it hurts So laughing or crying will only make it worse
