Much The Same Father Son Lyrics

Father Son Lyrics

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 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



It's always been about you



But I'm a person too



I feel like giving up



I've had about enough



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
