In the early days, my father would carry me through
As the years went by, I noticed our chats were so few
Yet the dinner table was abounded with our daily bread
Forgiveness I ask, the sins I didn't know made me bled
Have mercy on me
I desperately wanted to be just like him in my youth
He was larger than life, surely there's no other truth
But I never knew how to be like his friend
Through the darkest hours, the feelings of fear would not end
Oh Daddy, I'm crying tonight, I'm dying inside
Wishing to gain back your trust
Though the battle is won, the damage is done
Still hoping to one day be just like father like son
The day was approaching, I had to make me a plan
Things were not getting better for me so I ran
I said I'd be back but suddenly I changed my mind
My heart was deceitful, I miss all that I left behind
Oh Lord, I'm crying tonight, I'm dying inside
Wishing to gain back your trust
Though the battle is won, the damage is done
Still hoping to one day be just like father like son
Oh the cup I am drinking from today is fate
I wait for the day when it's not too little too late anymore
Oh but til then, I'm crying tonight, I'm dying inside
Wishing to gain back your trust
Though the battle is won, the damage is done
Still hoping to one day be just like you
Oh God, I'm crying tonight, I'm dying inside
Wishing to gain back your trust
Though the battle is won, the damage is done
Still hoping to one day be just like father like son
