The young boy has
  turned into a man
  and he's growing stronger
  he's battled through things
  he thought he could
  go on no longer
  father stood by his side
  wanting nothing more
  than just be his dad
  but pride only answers
  to one call
  he only condemns him
    and if the boy only knew
  the father's pain
  the nights that he
  stayed up late
  wondered why
  doesn't he see the future
  is so bleak so bleak
    father's retired now
  he's left with tv and rest
  the weight of the world
  and what did he do wrong
  has gone to his chest
  he had such a good life
  the family he loved
  were all by his side
  to his son he whispered
  goddamn this pride
    so fuck i'm all by myself
  now you've gone away
  you've left me
  all by myself
  with that fucked up
  thing you said
  if i could forgive myself
  you knew the way
  now i'm all by myself
  and i'm sorry
    but if you only knew
  your son's pain
  how bad that he wanted
  you to say
  you're doing just fine
  you turned out to be
  one good guy
  but it's too late
