lyrics
I've been thinking...
And it's getting the best of me!
This was a close one, wasn't it?
I grabbed a hold of everything I dreamed that you would be
And I threw it all away.
Because in my mind I grew so close
I grew so close to the thought of you
But I knew that you were falling through the cracks
And then I felt like these voids were coming back...
Don't waste your time on wasting mine.
Bout damn time I conquered half these fears
I've been waiting on this porch for years.
(I needed you)
Why were you running away?
When you need me to I won't stay.
Well I've been thinking that
Oh I may have turned my back on you.
Well know that I've learned from the best yeah I've learned from the best.
I found half myself down under
And half myself stuck on broken pride.
You're half the man that I've become.
My hands are strong though you're far from gone
Fake dads with fake plans who run away!
And You're half the man oh that I've become.
My hands are strong though you're far from gone
Fake dads I don't need that anyway.
And I'm not embarrassed of half the shit you put me through.
See I built a life off of your broken foundations!
And I learned passion through your actions
I also learned you'll be gone for years to come.
And then I knew that you were falling through the cracks
And then I felt like these voids were coming back...
Don't waste your time on wasting mine.
Bout damn time I conquered half these fears
I've been waiting on this porch for years.
(I needed you)
Why were you running away?
When you need me to I won't stay.
YOU!
Don't try to prove me wrong!
Cause you never could, you're too far gone!
They say to move on is to forgive, but I can't..
Do you understand your absence made me who I am?
They say to move on is to love, and I can act.
But why pretend for a father who will never love me back and they say..
They say...
