this song's about my father. not much else to write about that.
lyrics
[Verse 1]
And so it goes,
You ran away again,
This broken hearted family,
Flows through this pen,
They always said,
My face looked just like yours
And this mirror,
Reminds me everyday,
[Pre-Chorus]
If I take that burden,
If I do nothing to stop this,
I’ll end up just like you,
[Chorus]
Now I was not the perfect son,
I realise what I have done,
But you’re not you, when you were young,
I don’t know who you are,
If I had changed a single day,
We wouldn’t have been pushed away,
Now we have nothing to say,
I don’t know who you are,
[Verse 2]
Your brand new family,
Don’t know who you used to be,
How long can you,
Live this lie,
18 years along,
I struggled through today,
Wondering if life,
Would be better with you,
[Pre-Chorus]
If I take that burden,
If I do nothing to stop this,
I’ll end up just like you,
[Chorus]
Now I was not the perfect son,
I realise what I have done,
But you’re not you, when you were young,
I don’t know who you are,
If I had changed a single day,
We wouldn’t have been pushed away,
Now we have nothing to say,
I don’t know who you are,
[Chorus]
The whole damn time, I had my doubts,
I stopped myself from finding out,
Seeing the truth that had been laid,
The game we were in had been played,
If I had changed a single day,
We wouldn’t have been pushed away,
Now we have nothing to say,
I don’t know who you are,
Now I was not the perfect son,
I realise what I have done,
But you’re not you, when you were young,
I don’t know who you are,
If I had changed a single day,
We wouldn’t have been pushed away,
Now we have nothing to say,
I don’t know who you are,
