Text Riff - Father

We never got along, it was always war Every single talk just turned into more You raised your voice, I did the same In this house nobody ever took the blame We lived in the same place but felt so far Like two broken people stuck behind a bar No real connection, no way to repair Just anger and silence hanging in the air But now I understand why it’s like this Why we became enemies, Why nothing between us ever felt right Now I understand it tonight So I could become a man, to win on my way To stand on my feet and not walk away To break every chain that life put on me And finally live like I’m meant to be You never said you were proud of me at all I stopped expecting anything after each call Everything I did was never enough With you even love always felt too rough I stopped talking first, I stopped trying too Because every conversation ended like we always knew Silence became easier than another fight So I learned to stay away and disappear from sight But now I understand why it’s like this Why we became enemies, Why nothing between us ever felt right Now I understand it tonight So I could become a man, to win on my way To stand on my feet and not walk away To break every chain that life put on me And finally live like I’m meant to be We never fixed a single thing we broke No final words, no healing spoke Just years of distance, cold and long Two people proving each other wrong But now I understand why it’s like this No peace between us, only conflict It wasn’t love, it wasn’t hate Just two people trapped in the same fate So I could become a man, to win on my way To stand on my feet and not walk away To break every chain that life put on me And finally live like I’m meant to be
