I was only five when my father died And I feel like a part of me with him lies With a drink in his hand, he bid the world farewell Such a waste of a life on just a little thrill In my younger days I never could find a light to guide my way Now I know I was only hiding In the shadow of his vast mis takes But the blood that filled his veins flows through mine It's not that I'm ashamed But how can I redefine how your story ends How your story ends I always thought that you'd be there Through the ups and downs but then you were gone I never found a place to go where I'd belong But it's alright since it made me strong The blood that filled his veins flows through mine I'll take all the pain and turn it into something divine
