I never saw myself writing a song
About how you went and did us all wrong
This is a letter to a father from his son
About how his world became undone
I am a mess and I am lost
I can't place the words to my thoughts
I want to understand but I can't believe
A single word that you're trying to tell me
But at the end of the day
I've lost all my trust in you
I have this memory of you that I can't let go
It's engraved in the root of my soul
It's the only thought I want to hold
But I know you're not the man I used to know
I watched the drugs slowly tear you apart
And leave a blackness inside of your heart
I wish that things could go back to the start
Before you turned our world into a never ending dark
You call yourself a man
But after all you've done
I feel like I can see
The person you've become
When I was just a kid, I always looked up to you
Like any child would to the man that helped him grow
There is no coming back from what you've done
I made a peace with myself when you were not around
Despite your efforts to unite through blood
I'll always keep this wall between you and I
I have this memory of you that I can't let go
It's engraved in the root of my soul
It's the only thought I want to hold
But I know you're not the man I used to know
I watched the drugs slowly tear you apart
And leave a blackness inside of your heart
I wish that things could go back to the start
Before you turned our world into a never ending dark
You found a wife, you found a home
A little family to call your own
You raised your kids to be like you
But you had secrets that we never knew
To you this place, it felt like a prison
You were lost without a sense of direction
But you found solace in the heart
Of a woman who tore us apart
