"I Bite" lyrics

"I Bite"

Why father why
Do you never cry?
I don't want to fight
But if I'm being honest
My mistakes aren't being honored
Why?
Why?

When I say love
Is it different from
What you're thinking of?
Our great expectations
Always lost in translation
Why?

Love is unconditional
Under the right conditions
You were always strong for me
Even when I needed weakness

When we fight
I've learned all my life
From the best
No surprise
Maybe I bite

Father
Now I understand
Your sacrifice
Your honor
And I wanna thank you
For lifting me up
Up on your shoulders
For me you were king
And it hasn't been easy
But now I'm older
And I'm a father
I tell my son

Love is unconditional
Under the right conditions
I'll always be strong for you
Even when I show my weakness

When we fight
You'll learn all your life
From the best
No surprise
You bite
