Will my words ever be enough to change your mind
On who I want to be
I'm not the perfect person
But I wish that you could see
That the life you want me to live
And the son that you tried to change his place of thought
Is only tearing us apart
I've been sitting in this room for years
Contemplating all the times I watched the pain unfold
You pushed it all in my face
It only pushed me away
I wish you could see the loss of faith
In your sons eyes
And in this moment
This is where I stand
Nothing but shattered and cold
I'm a broken man
Pain from the hate that unfolds
Give me something real
Questions hidden to my chest
So I'll believe in you
With no sense of regret
I've been counting all the days
That I've tried to run away
I've had questions my whole life
But you words still put me down
I just want to tell you how much you mean to me
It's hard when these wounds are still repairing
Moments so imminent from a past that was never dead
You saw me as yourself in the mirror
Never forgiving the shallow man who caused the void
Are we the next to see ourselves at this breaking point?
And this is how it is
A bond that's grown so distant
So where do we go from here?
You tell me
I never meant to hurt you
Like the one that hurt me
(My past was never dead)
Because I chose to breathe in hate
(It's not because of you)
The man I never knew
Got the best of my anger
Because he was never there to own up to his failures
No apologies given
We'll put the past to death
Refusing to be a lifeless shell of a man
I just want to tell you how much you mean to me
It's hard when these wounds are still repairing
