Father & Son

Father & Son

Much The Same
(album: Quitters Never Win)

Hello, it´s me, your only son
Writing to you now because I haven´t seen you in so long
Even though we live in the same home
You´re the father that I´ve never known
I get up each day, you´re already gone
Drive past your office late at night
And see the light still on
Why do you care more about your job
Than about the family falling apart?

Don´t even know you
Can´t understand you
Never stopped to think of anyone else

Hello, my boy, your letter hurt me so
18 years I´ve worked so hard, while I missed seeing you grow
I was just trying to provide for you
All my efforts thrown back in my face
Every morning I´d say a prayer for you
As I lose another day making it the best for you
Someday you´ll wake up and you´ll realize
And you´ll thank me for how hard I tried

Don´t even know you
Can´t understand you
Never stopped to think of anyone else

It´s always been about you (about you)
But I´m a person too (I´m a person too)
I feel like giving up
I´ve had about enough

Don´t even know you
Can´t understand you
Never stopped to think of anyone else

I gave up more for you than you´ll ever understand
But you were never there for me when life went bad
Son, I always tried to give you all the things I never had
But all I ever wanted was a dad
