Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
I know my enemy and I can't forget his name, Distant memories of a man that just couldn't change, And though I've tried to set aside, I still carry them today When I look into the mirror I can still see his face, Oh Lord Don't want to be like my father, I deserved a better man, A bigger man to help me down my road I cried a tear for my mother, She deserved a better man, A stronger man, To embrace her soul Ruined by a weaker man, A shallow man, The one who broke our home Though I was a young boy I can still remember everything, All the booze led to fights and abuse And I lived through it every day And though I try, To heal inside, My heart is just a vault for pain, I tried to snuff the candle, But I've been burnt by the flame, It's too late Don't want to be like my father, I deserved a better man, A bigger man to help me down my road I cried a tear for of my mother, She deserved a better man, A stronger man, To embrace her soul Ruined by a weaker man, A shallow man, The one who broke our home Saw him twenty years later in a store buyin' a jug of wine He said "hey there boy I'm living nearby We could catch up with a joint and share a bottle or two" I said "I'm sorry dad, don't wanna end up being you, no" Don't want to be like my father, no I cried a tear for my mother, She deserved a better man, A stronger man, To embrace her soul Ruined by a weaker man, A shallow man, The one who broke our home
