I took the road and left you behind, but the only thing I have is faith guiding me now You turned your cheek the other way, love is no longer here Mother the way you look at me now, it's like I'm some stranger to the eye I'm not the man that you wanted me to be I'm not the man you raised to succeed, To be loved, to be held, to be the next on the throne You've abandon me what could I say, I turned to my father to keep me out of the tide, Through your screams I'm still fighting for isolation to get away from this empty house I took the road and left you behind, but the only thing I have is faith guiding me now You turned your cheek the other way, love is no longer here Mother the way you look at me now, it's like I'm some stranger to the eye I'm not the man that you wanted me to be, I'm not the man you raised to succeed To be loved, to be held, to be the next on the thrown You've abandoned me what could I say, I turned to my father to keep me out of the tide, Through your screams, I'm still fighting for isolation I'm walking out the back door
