not always a good idea
to walk in your fathers steps
if he's heading for a brick wall
maybe not the best idea
to do as he says
maybe you should
learn to hold your tongue
better cross the street
walk on the other side
you dont waste your time
on a lost cause
but your frustrated
in how you feel
cause your just as stubborn
as him
and no he doesn't care
what you say
all your kind words
fall on deaf ears
cause life has cheated him
tricked him good
all he see's how it could of been
you stand and watch
and worry yourself
that you might turn out the same
but you love so you must accept
that he is just how he is
so no more blaming
or being ashamed
he gave you life
and taught you how to see
he may of beat you
and hurt you with words
but he was there
every single day oh yeah
we all struggle
in our own minds
but why can't we see
all the goodness
instead of putting up this useless fight
when we could just smile and be
grateful
