[Intro]
Yeah, it’s me. I know it’s weird getting a message from you since you’re in the next room, but… I was thinking about the birth, since it’s in a few months. And, uh, I’m starting to seriously freak out, and I don’t know, I had to share what’s going on in my head with you. Uh, it seemed simpler that way.

[Chorus 1]
In a few months, in a few months, in a few months
He’s coming soon, I’ll never be ready
In a few months, in a few months
I don’t even know how I’ll raise him
In a few months, in a few months
I’m making a list of the mistakes I could make
In a few months, in a few months
[Verse 1]
A tortured artist creates masterpieces
A tortured father ruins a life
You know how I am
I give up on everything, I’m not sure I can ensure his survival
Imagine, I see him, I don’t like him
Imagine, it doesn’t affect me, I have no empathy
Imagine, I forget about him, I come home, I hear you say
“Honey, what did you do with the little one?”

It’s a nightmare, I swear, for sure, we’re going to traumatize him
You lock him in his room when he’s two
Thirty years later, you’ve got a psychopath
I’m already on the verge of burnout
What do you expect me to do, manage another life?
Imagine, we mess it up, imagine, the mix takes the worst from both our races

[Pre-chorus 1]
Imagine, he only takes our flaws, imagine my ego and your temper
He takes my father’s bad faith, and he makes a fuss like your mother
I don’t even know how to use a washing machine, why would you want to entrust me with his life?

If I cover him too much, I’ll make him fragile, if I don’t cover him enough, I’ll make him a Nazi

[Chorus 2] He’s coming soon, I’ll never be ready

I don’t even know how I’ll raise him
I’m making a list of the mistakes I could make
I’m simply terrified of being a father
He’s coming soon, I’ll never be ready
I don’t even know how I’ll raise him
I’m making a list of the mistakes I could make
I’m simply terrified of being a father

[Verse 2] When I write, I start with a draft, imagine, it’s the same here
Imagine the sleepless nights, imagine the exhaustion tearing us apart
Apparently, in the first year, there’s a higher chance of divorce
Imagine, I’m doing my best but I’m not cut out for this
Imagine it’s just beyond my Strengths
And-And what if things go badly at school?
Kids these days are fierce
Imagine, he never makes any friends
He’s alone and sad like when I was a kid
Even if childhood passes, there’ll be adolescence
That time when you regret being born
I don’t want to relive s*x, alcohol, drügs, insolence

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I’m afraid of being an absent father
I’m afraid of making our parents’ mistakes, or even worse
I’m afraid of breaking down, of becoming the same person I was before
Exes, sports, friends, do you know everything I’ve given up?

I’m afraid of giving up, maybe we made a mistake, if we can’t make it, what do we do?

[Chorus 2]
It’s coming soon, I’ll never be ready
I don’t even know how I’ll raise him
I’m making a list of the mistakes I could make
I’m simply terrified of being a father
It’s coming soon, I’ll never be ready
I don’t even know how I’ll raise him
I’m making a list of the mistakes I could make
I’m simply terrified of being a father

[Outro]
In a few months
In a few months
In a few months
In a few months
In a few months
In a few months
In a few months
