They can never know a thing.
Don't talk.
You can't speak
It'll ruin this family.
Pull it together.
You're stronger than you think.
Hide it all so they can't see.
Be the kid they make me pretend to be,
'Cause I every time I tried to breath,
Your fist came crashing back into me.
What kind of man...
What kind of man does it take
To self destruct and ruin everything?
Look me in the eyes and tell me can you...
(Can you believe in me?)
Can you believe in me?
'Cause I believed in you all along.
How does it feel?
(How does it feel?)
Living your life like a loaded gun.
Familiar faces but forced to feel alone.
It gets harder everyday.
Five years to go.
I'll be on my own.
Yeah, I'll run away.
Away from this broken home.
Away from everything I know.
Break the shackles.
Get up off the ground.
Never let another anchor hold me down.
I understand you went through some things.
That gives you know right to take it out on my brother and me.
Where did you lose yourself?
Was it when she found somebody else?
I embody the traits it takes to pull through this.
I can forgive,
But the scars won't let me forget.
We both know this was never about me,
But what you yourself went through,
I tried to help you.
I was just too young.
It's not my fault.
I was your youngest son.
When I was falling,
I looked up to you,
The only one that could save me.
Now there's nothing you can do.
With my fist clenched tight, and tear-filled eyes,
Not one reason why,
I watched you leave me.
