I spent my early teens to now thinking that i’ll never be like them
My father, your father, and all the hopeless men
But you’re locked away somewhere upstate
And i’m here twiddling my thumbs
I’ll be the first to admit I failed you
And it eats at me every single day
I can’t help but thinking
Maybe if I was there more
Maybe if I didn’t leave
Maybe if I didn’t view you as a burden
Maybe if I wasn’t so damn selfish
You wouldn’t be where you are now
I’m no better than my father or any other men that sin
I’m mortal and oh so flawed
I feel my heart beat out of my chest and sometimes pray it just stops for good
I just miss you and don’t know what else to do
I’m just like you
Everytime you hear “I love you”
It leaves an uneasy feeling in your stomach
Like something isn’t right
I just hope you sleep well tonight
Things will get better
They say it just takes time
