Lyrics

[00:01.28] Sensitive boy,
[00:04.24] military father.
[00:08.69] Both of them needing something very badly from the other.
[00:16.07] They had no choice,
[00:18.61] they could not reach each other.
[00:22.45] Now the boy's an angry man.
[00:25.55] And he holds it in no longer.
[00:30.45] He says, "I can never win anything,
[00:34.63] 'cause I already felt beaten.
[00:39.15] And you have always hated me,
[00:42.05] so I guess now we're even.
[00:46.18] So look at me now, I'm not afraid to fight you man to man."
[00:52.17] And the old man says, "I am your father,
[00:59.39] I am not another of your schoolboy, classmates.
[01:10.26] I am your father.
[01:14.12] You will not forget me.
[01:18.79] I will stay part of you forever.
[01:35.30] Listen to my side,looking back I wonder.
[01:42.64] Why I couldn't feel for you the way I felt about your brothers.
[01:50.10] There were times, I'm sure you still remember,
[01:56.52] when I tried to talk to you,
[01:59.89] and you left me an outsider.
[02:06.21] I avoid painful thing, so you were avoided.
[02:13.37] And I never really hated you, just sometimes dissappointed.
[02:20.25] So look at me now, am I the same as the man you love to hate?
[02:26.51] No matter what, I am your father.
[02:33.48] I am your father.
[02:37.91] And you can mess up my face-go ahead!
[02:43.78] But I'll still be your father.
[02:48.26] You cannot forget me.
[02:52.73] I will stay part of you forever.
[03:08.81] I could never look at you and say I love you,
[03:16.45] I was taught that real men never broke down.
[03:24.05] I feel like a victim I know you do too.
[03:30.23] Like father like son.
[03:37.67] I'm so sorry for the things I've done.
[03:50.70] But I am your father.
[03:54.70] I am your father.
[03:59.36] Come what may,
[04:05.40] I 'll be part of you forever.
