"Father Figure" lyrics

I heard you were different
Long ago, before I knew you
I was ten the day we met
You said that I was raised wrong
And it destroyed me

Now here I am
At thirty-three
And I have to fight
For my sanity

When I look in the mirror
I'm scared to see
The glimpse of you
And a glimpse of me

It's such a shame
How people can change
How everything beautiful
Slips away

You taught me a lot
About what not to do
And when I'll be a father
I'll be nothing like you
Nothing like you

Life just keeps appearing
You know it too
From you're own father
And you thought you'd be different
That you'd never be like him

Never did nothing like him
Cause he destroyed you

But, it's a shame
How people can change
And how everything beautiful
Slips away

You taught me a lot
(You taught me a lot)
About what not to do
(About what not to do)
And when I'll be a father
I'll be nothing like you
Nothing like you

Nothing like you
