"Father" lyrics
It's all an act, I can see through it
So can everybody else
If you wanna be a better person
Stop lying to yourself
And be the man your father never was
Be the man your father never was
Aren't you tired of denial?
How long have you been wishing you were dead?
Don't you wanna put your guard down?
Hush the memories in your head
Tell me how you really feel
Even if the feeling isn't great, please
Let go of your expectations of me
And I will do the same
You'll be the man your father never was
Be the man your father never was
I forgive you
I'll be just fine
But there's still time to
Be the man your father never was
The man your father never was
Be the man your father never was
The man your father never really was
So can everybody else
If you wanna be a better person
Stop lying to yourself
And be the man your father never was
Be the man your father never was
Aren't you tired of denial?
How long have you been wishing you were dead?
Don't you wanna put your guard down?
Hush the memories in your head
Tell me how you really feel
Even if the feeling isn't great, please
Let go of your expectations of me
And I will do the same
You'll be the man your father never was
Be the man your father never was
I forgive you
I'll be just fine
But there's still time to
Be the man your father never was
The man your father never was
Be the man your father never was
The man your father never really was
