You must promise you will
|
Never speak again of this to me
|
?ause I could never look my son
|
In the eye and tell him
|
Just exactly what his daddy did
|
With the souls of all the broken ones
|
I could never understand exactly why
|
You had feelings for these
|
Worthless human flies
|
And when I looked into your eyes
|
I felt
|
I felt broken
|
Yes, it? true
|
I wanted to be like you
|
And yes, I knew
|
I could never be like you
|
And I saw them kneeling there
|
To their God on his big throne
|
And I started to see you
|
Shying away from all the angels
|
It?l never be the way it was again
|
You couldn? see that I
|
Treated you just like a son
|
And if I held others just like you
|
It? only because I
|
Created all men equal
|
I could never understand exactly why
|
You would spit into your loving father? eyes
|
Oh my father how am I
|
Supposed to say I? sorry?
|
Yes, it? true
|
I wanted to be like you
|
And yes, I knew
|
I could never be like you
|
And I saw them kneeling there
|
To their God on his big throne
|
And I started to see you
|
Shying away from all the angels
|
I forgive you. Don? you know?
|
I just don? care
|
I could never be the one
|
Ever be your son
|
I could never be the father No
|
(I could never win)
