|
Can you remember |
|
How you use to jab your fingers into my chest |
|
And tell me how stupid you thought |
|
I wasAnd how |
|
I'd grow up to be worthless? |
|
I was only 9 and |
|
I can recall every single time |
|
You raised your hand to me |
|
No matter how hard |
|
I try to forget |
|
I can't erase it from my memory |
|
To this day you seem to think that |
|
You never did anything wrong |
|
And even though |
|
I've tried to look past your ignorance |
|
The hate was too strong |
|
But you were to blind to see how much anger |
|
Was growing inside of me |
|
And everything revolved around you |
|
Do what you say, do what you want, do as you do |
|
As the years passed |
|
I never knew what was to come' |
|
Cause you were never there |
|
But the day will come when we'll cross paths |
|
But this time |
|
I'll be there to let you know that |
|
All I ever wanted was was for you to believe in me |
|
And everyday |
|
I prayed for, lived the day for |
|
Was a chance to throw it back in your face |
|
And before you die, open your eyes and see |
|
All the different ways that you neglected me |
|
You may have gave me life but you never gave me hope |
|
I don't want to be my own father |
|
And before you die, open your eyes and see |
|
All the different ways that you neglected me |
|
You may have gave me life but you never gave me hope |
|
FatherGod help me raise up outta this mess |
|
Stress and gray days and a gang full of tests |
|
God help me, |
|
God help me |
|
You put the fear in me and said |
|
If I wasn't to be everything you expected |
|
Then a son |
|
I'm not in your eyes |
|
And would be instantly rejected |
|
Your gifts of love were just fifths of pain |
|
While I tried to maintain and refrain |
|
You just laughed at me, looked down on me |
|
You threw down on me, you made me feel worthless |
|
Now you're dead to me |
|
How does it feel to be? |
|
What runs through you created me |
|
One day I'll break free |
|
All I ever wanted was for you to believe in me |
|
And everyday |
|
I prayed for, lived the day for |
|
Was a chance to throw it back in your face |
|
And before you die, open your eyes and see |
|
All the different ways that you neglected me |
|
You may have gave me life but you never gave me hope |
|
I don't want to be my own father |
|
And before you die, open your eyes and see |
|
All the different ways that you neglected me |
|
You may have gave me life but you never gave me hope |
|
FatherWhy do |
|
I have to feel like |
|
I'm constantly worthless? |
|
Every day |
|
I'm reminded of you, father |
|
And before you die, open your eyes and see |
|
All the different ways that you neglected me |
|
You may have gave me life but you never gave me hope |
|
I don't want to be my own father |
|
And before you die, open your eyes and see |
|
All the different ways that you neglected me |
|
You may have gave me life but you never gave me hope |
|
Father |
