Cher Papa Lyrics

Papa you were right, this was all a big mistake

Nothing but a lifetime of regret for me awaits

You tried your best to warn me so and guide me to the light

But trust is bred from birth and all we ever did was fight

Hindsight, feels nice, makes me writhe

Papa when you told me so I really should have known

That even though we shared no love you wanted me to grow

Toward the sun blossomed in full with all my strengths in tow

Too bad so sad a worthy life for me I'll never know

Papa you were right, and I know it's far too late

To think you didn't know what's best it's what she always craved

So I'll sit and spin and try to grin for just a little more

But working here will never work, not anymore, anywhere

Fuck this shit let's blow it up and smash it all to bits

A routine feeling conjured up from when I was a kid

Longing for connection from the bow of granddads boat

Angered to the tits and teeth fat lump upon my throat

Papa when you told me so I really should have known

That even though we shared no love you wanted me to grow

Toward the sun blossomed in full with all my strengths in tow

Too bad so sad a worthy life for me I'll never know

What hurts so much is what it coulda shoulda woulda been

Had I not needed notes with words and heavy hit rhythm

I see now what you saw for me - a life I'd some day want

But I was blinded by the rage of adolescent thought

I was blinded by the rage of adolescent thoughts

I was blinded by those same old violent thoughts
