Father Figure

I heard You were different Long ago, Before I knew you. I was ten The day we met. You said that I was raised wrong And it destroyed me. Now here I am At thirty-three, And I have to fight For my sanity. When I look in the mirror, I'm scared to see A glimpse of you And a glimpse of me. It's such a shame How people can change, How everything beautiful Slips away. You taught me a lot About what not to do. And when I'll be a father, I'll be nothing like you. Nothing like you. Life just Keeps repeating. You know it too From your own father. And you swore you'd be different, That you'd never be like him, never do Nothing like Him, 'cause he destroyed you. But it's a shame How people can change and how everything Beautiful Slips away. You taught me a lot About what not to do. And when I'll be a father, I'll be nothing like you. Nothing like you. Nothing like you.
