You don't have to stand so tall
I see right through it all
And I don't know why
It's a weakness to cry
You're not on your own
You've built those walls so high
I've had no chance to climb
You've closed that door
But I know there's more
You're not just not the same
Tell my why
You won't let me in
After all this time trying
My patience wears thin
You're not a hero
And god knows that you're not a saint
So put down all your weapons
There's no one to blame
You say it's just one bad day
But how long have you felt this way?
I used to sit on your shoulders
But now that I'm older
That weight's been replaced
Tell my why
You won't let me in
After all this time hiding
My patience wears thin
You're not a hero
And god knows that you're not a saint
So put down all your weapons
There's no one to blame
And I know that I'm not a saviour
But just let me re-pay the favour
You're only human
We're just the same
And for the first time
Oh, his heart's not so bold
And his smile doesn't shine so brightly
He once seemed so strong
But now that I'm grown I see
He's just like me
He is not a hero
And god knows that he is not a saint
Just because you're my father
Don't be ashamed
I know that I'm not a saviour
But just let me re-pay the favour
You're only human
We're just the same
We're just the same
