Like My Father (The Colour Part II) Lyrics

I used to say at 17

I'll never be my fathers son

But here I lay at 28

And that's exactly who I've become

I've been pissing in the wind

Just to prove that I was different

And show, I just have his face

But what I found

In smoke written in the distance

Is the words "we're just the same"

So throw it away

Burn it down in flames

I know how this ends

So I won't tell you to stay

You deserve better than

The life that my mother had

Cause I'll work myself to death

Exactly like my father did

And there's no hiding that

So let's not pretend

That the same mistakes that our parents made

Will keep us from making them again

I'm sick and I know I got a problem

That I know how to solve but I can't

Is this it, have I finally hit the bottom?

I can't help that I inherited this

So throw it away

Burn it down in flames

I know how this ends

So I won't tell you to stay

You deserve better than

The life that my mother had

Cause I'll work myself to death

Exactly like my father did

I know my problem is

I don't know when to quit

So I'll work myself to death

Exactly like my father did

You deserve better than

The life that my mother had
