[ Featuring the Shame ]
Held you up before God and man
Swore to raise you according to a plan
Then the blueprint faded to gray
Still a lot that I want for you
Still a lot that I think is true
It's just now the path ain't quite so straight
The secret I probably should not tell
Is that I still feel like a kid myself
Been in over my head since we brought you home
Biggest thing that I've learned is what I don't know
But I'm your dad
I know that
And I love you to the creek and back
Even with the best intentions
I could only guess at the damage done
You'll be working through that 'til I'm gone
Proud and humbled by who you are
To take the credit would be a bridge too far
Seems you mostly got this down on your own
The secret I probably should not tell
Is that I still feel like a kid myself
Been in over my head since we brought you home
Biggest thing that I've learned is what I don't know
But I'm your dad
I know that
And I love you to the creek and back
I'm your dad
Yes I know that
And I love you to the creek and back
