The young boy has turned into a man
And he's growing stronger
He's battled through things he thought he could
Go on no longerFather stood by his side wanting nothing more
Than just be his dad
But pride only answers to one call
He only condemns himAnd if the boy only knew the father's pain
The nights that he stayed up late wondered why
Doesn't he see the future is so bleak, so bleakFather's retired now, he's left with a TV and rest
The weight of the world and what did he do wrong
Has gone to his chestHe had such a good life
With the family he loved were all at his side
To his son he whispered, goddamn this prideAnd if the boy only knew the father's pain
The nights that he stayed up late, wondered why
The choice that he made
Doesn't he see the future is so bleak, so bleakSo fuck I'm all by myself, now you've gone away
You've left me up all by myself
With that fucked up thing you saidIf I could forgive myself, you knew the way
Now I'm all by myself, well, I'm sorryBut if you only knew your son's pain
How bad that he wanted you to say
You're doing just fineYou turned out to be one good guy
But it's too late
