You were always working in late
Gave us everything we need
But lately my perspective changed
I think I'm finally starting to see
That '99 was the year you fell apart
Your plans got rearranged to mend a broken heart and
Before you knew it you're a father of five
Can't help but think if you were able
You'd choose a different life
You'd live a different life
Did you ever want this?
Was it all just pretend?
Cause all I ever wanted was to make you proud in the end
And everyday I'm learning shit I wish I never heard
Won't be the same I can finally see the damage you did to her
Why can't you be the man I thought you were?
Will we ever be enough?
Will you always wish things turned out different?
Well maybe if I was someone else
You'd start to care then you finally listen 'cause
Your words cut deeper than the worlds sharpest knife
Can't help but think if you were able
You'd choose a different life
Woah
And you'd live a different life
Did you ever want this?
Was it all just pretend?
Cause all I ever wanted was to make you proud in the end
And everyday I'm learning shit I wish I never heard
Won't be the same I can finally see the damage you did to her
Why can't you be the man I thought you were?
You were always working in late
Gave us everything we need
But lately my perspective changed
I think I'm finally starting to see
