Story behind the song
This is a song about single parenthood. About a father who walks out on his family and leaves them in the care of their mother. And, what must run through the minds of these kids later on in life. Some daydream and try to articulate why their fathers left. Was it me? Was it something I did? Do you ever think about me? What are you like? Am I like you? Does that ever cross your mind? Do you ever look in the mirror and wonder about me? Like I wonder about you... And, this song is for 'them'... For 'You'.
Lyrics
Verse 1:
Hey…
Where did we go wrong?
You know I had so many questions to answer
How did you move on?
I stare…
At your picture with me
And, when I look at my reflection…
You are all I see…
Bridge 1:
I don’t wanna…
I don’t wanna…
I don’t wanna feel this way
I don’t wanna…
I won’t…
I won’t run away
It’s so hard to let it show
So hard to let it go
Bridge 2:
What would you have thought…
That would make you right?
You took my hero, shattered it into pieces…
Fled into the night.
Chorus:
It’s so hard to see…
The world like me…
This life, it’s a sham…
Can’t help how I am
This if for you…
Verse 2:
Hey…
Did you ever think
About the way that I’d turn out
Feeling on the brink
The edge…
Of this knife cuts deep
Sometimes I hope you feel the same blade
And, you cannot sleep
Bridge 1:
I don’t wanna…
I don’t wanna…
I don’t wanna feel this way
I don’t wanna…
I won’t…
I won’t run away
It’s so hard to let it show
So hard to let it go
Bridge 2:
What would you have thought…
That would make you right?
You took my hero, shattered it into pieces…
Fled into the night.
Chorus:
It’s so hard to see…
The world like me
This life is a sham…
Can’t help who I am
This if for you…
Break…
This is for you
This is for you
This is for you
This is for you
Bridge 2:
What could you say…
That would make it right?
You took my hero, shattered it into pieces…
Fled into the night.
Chorus:
It’s so hard to see…
The world like me
This life is a sham…
Can’t help how I am
This if for you…
