The young boy has

turned into a man

and he's growing stronger

he's battled through things

he thought he could

go on no longer

father stood by his side

wanting nothing more

than just be his dad

but pride only answers

to one call

he only condemns him



and if the boy only knew

the father's pain

the nights that he

stayed up late

wondered why

doesn't he see the future

is so bleak so bleak



father's retired now

he's left with tv and rest

the weight of the world

and what did he do wrong

has gone to his chest

he had such a good life

the family he loved

were all by his side

to his son he whispered

goddamn this pride



so fuck i'm all by myself

now you've gone away

you've left me

all by myself

with that fucked up

thing you said

if i could forgive myself

you knew the way

now i'm all by myself

and i'm sorry



but if you only knew

your son's pain

how bad that he wanted

you to say

you're doing just fine

you turned out to be

one good guy

but it's too late
