Father And Son Lyrics

An only son of a father, I walked through these heavy waters

I never had any brothers, I've asked and deeply wondered

How can a son just ever be better than his own father

I promise there's not a day I don't carry that on my shoulder

And I carry it, I also hold it, I'm older and you're not perfect

I know of your heavy burdens, your flaws, I also notice

You're purest, of emotion, a man with higher purpose

You share with those that are hopeless but still fight with some curses

You have a temper, I know it because I have it

We're both just such perfectionists, calculated with passion

We're simply just too impatient, need space when reached a passive

Aggressive communication, we hurt those in our masses

Words become like bullets, we lose with our actions

Hurt people that are close, I've seen things I couldn't grasp it

Still would never change a single thing about my past

Still would never change a single thing about my dad

You taught me how to laugh, you showed me how to cry

You taught me it's okay to not feel okay deep inside

You showed me how to care for others, it's our right

Wisdom that's hard to sell, never bought and never find

Taught me it's important to use my heart over mind

Encouraged me to have a dream and appreciate our sky

Pardon me as I write my express love through these lines

You taught me no need to be tough, it's love that makes us fly

You taught me how to fly

You taught me how to fly

You showed me the sky

You helped me reach the sky

You taught me how to fly

You taught me how to fly

You taught me how to fight

You taught me how to fly

An only son of a father, I walk through these heavy waters

I'm hoping you understand why I feel this way as I'm older

How can I ever repay what you've given me as I'm holding

Back my heavy tears, let me spill this shit as I'm flowing

I'm seeing a couple grays on your chin, I see them poking

I'm trying to take shit to gear of what's really important

I'm trying to see you rest, I'm impatient, that day is coming

I wanna see you with no stress, on a hill with zero worry

Just pardon me, feeling like I'm not worthy

How can I ever be brave, responsible for the story

A story that we call life, especially the one who brought me

Into this heavy world, a man who's always supporting

Me and not just me, the entire family in need

Still some throwing hate, even jealous what you achieved

They don't see all the angles of love that I have seen

I'm finally understanding we're the same, you're just like me

We both can be so stubborn, persistent with our dreams

We both don't tolerate disrespect it seems to be

We change to different people when anger is all we see

And no, you're not perfect, I know that we can agree

Neither am I, I know that I'm certain about one thing

I'm certain about this feeling, I know it because it's true

I know it because I see it, the palace I'm giving you

Nobody's ever gonna stop me from caring, loving you
