substitute better sad \"i want my kid but am a loser\" song

i was gonna put the lyrics to "the saddest song" by the ataris in here, because that song just makes me so sad but then i looked at em and realized that well...they're not very good. so here's the lyrics to a slightly similar song...by a much better band! hurray!

cursive - sierra

in the desert, where the cities are made of gold
there's a girl playing hopscotch with pink ribbon pigtails
and her mom calls out from an apartment balcony,

"come on baby! your bath is ready! it's almost time for sleep!"
and i wonder who's the father
and i wonder what they call her - sierra

does her mother smoke, or does she jog every morning?
does she drink when she thinks about me?
or doesn't she need to drink...
does she have a man who works a nine to five?
does he come home to kiss our young sierra
tuck her in and say goodnight?
and an extra kiss for mama...
i want that kiss, that kid, that apartment

i'm ready to settle down now
so get that man out of my bed
i want my daughter back now
i want to kiss her, tuck her in
and say "goodnight, my baby girl, sierra"

sierra, sierra, sierra, sierra

i'll never know who you are, and i don't deserve to
my little girl, we would've been so...oh, nevermind
but i'm ready to settle down now
yeah, i'm ready to leave that wrecking ball behind
i could be your carpenter
and you could be my twinkling north star o'er the desert sky

if you don't own the new cursive album yet, i pity you.
