| I know my enemy | |
| And I can't forget his name | |
| Distant memories of a man | |
| That just couldn't change | |
| And though | |
| I've tried to set aside | |
| I still carry them today | |
| When I look into the mirror | |
| I can still see his face, oh | |
| LordDon't want to be like my father | |
| I deserved a better man, a bigger man | |
| To help me down my road | |
| I cried a tear for my mother | |
| She deserved a better man | |
| A stronger man to embrace her soul | |
| Ruined by a weaker man, a shallow man | |
| The one who broke our home | |
| Though I was a young boy | |
| I can still remember everything | |
| All the booze led to fights and abuse | |
| And I lived through it every day | |
| And though | |
| I try to heal inside | |
| My heart is just a vault for pain | |
| I've tried to snuff the candle | |
| But I've been burnt by the flame, it's too late | |
| Don't want to be like my father | |
| I deserved a better man, a bigger man | |
| To help me down my road | |
| I cried a tear for my mother | |
| She deserved a better man | |
| A stronger man to embrace her soul | |
| Ruined by a weaker man, a shallow man | |
| The one who broke our home | |
| Saw him twenty years later | |
| In a store buying a jug of wine | |
| He said, "Hey there, boyI'm living nearby""We could catch up with a jointAnd a bottle or two" | |
| I said, "I'm sorry, DadDon't wanna end up being you, no" | |
| Don't want to be like my father, no | |
| I cried a tear for my mother | |
| She deserved a better man | |
| A stronger man to embrace her soul | |
| Ruined by a weaker man, a shallow man | |
| The one who broke our home |
