A melancholic tale of broken promises and the lengths one woman will go to escape her reality. This heart-wrenching song by Meet the Grahams explores the duality of deception and the facade of love, reminiscent of Kendrick Lamar's storytelling style.
Eileen, she once swore love, now it’s a game she plays
Cheating hearts and tangled lives in the mess she’s made
Fell for a younger man, a pot-smoker’s haze
Left your daddy broken, in a smoky daze
[Chorus]
Oh Kolton, oh Kolton, can’t you see the charade?
She sells crack in her clinic, just to get away
Pretends to be loving, like it’s all okay
But you know when the fridge is empty, at the end of the day
[Verse 2]
Eileen’s prescriptions, they’re a different kind
Menopause meds and Ozempic are just the front line
She’s got a need for speed, more than these pills can satisfy
Vacations to Miami, France, and Dubai
[Chorus]
Oh Kolton, oh Kolton, can’t you see the charade?
She sells crack in her clinic, just to get away
Pretends to be loving, like it’s all okay
But you know when the fridge is empty, at the end of the day
[Bridge]
Her heart, it was broken, long before she broke yours
Settled for a love that never felt like it was whole
Wanderlust in her eyes, deceit is what she knows
Kolton, she’s living lies, under those clinic doors
[Chorus]
Oh Kolton, oh Kolton, can’t you see the charade?
She sells crack in her clinic, just to get away
Pretends to be loving, like it’s all okay
But you know when the fridge is empty, at the end of the day
[Outro]
Eileen’s on her knees, praying for a getaway
Caught up in the schemes, there's a price to pay
Kolton, beware the dreams that lead astray
Broken deals and faded dreams, this is her dismay
