This ain't what I thought and I don't know what to think I've lost my mind for the second time letting go of dreams Feels like I've gone insane making sense of what I see It just don't look like those picture books they read to me Run and tell my father Run and tell my father Run and tell him I'm giving up It's a part of getting old and I'm halfway there Just one more step and I'll regret how much I care Maybe it's a sign that I'm no longer a kid 'Cause I have seen almost everything life has to give Run and tell my father Run and tell my father Run and tell him I'm giving up Guess this is just some dream that I've been making up I feel bad for me 'cause I thought I'd be deep in love Run and tell my father Run and tell my father Run and tell him I'm giving up
