Father & Son Lyrics - Singles - Much The Same

Hello, it's me, your only son 

Writing to you now because I haven't seen you in so long 

Even though we live in the same home 

You're the father that I've never known 

I get up each day, you're already gone 

Drive past your office late at night 

And see the light still on 

Why do you care more about your job 

Than about the family falling apart? 

Don't even know you 

Can't understand you 

Never stopped to think of anyone else 

Hello, my boy, your letter hurt me so 

18 years I've worked so hard, while I missed seeing you grow 

I was just trying to provide for you 

All my efforts thrown back in my face 

Every morning I say a prayer for you 

As I lose another day making it the best for you 

Someday you'll wake up and you'll realize 

And you'll thank me for how hard I tried 

It's always been about you 

But I'm a person too 

I feel like giving up 

I've had about enough 

I gave up more for you than you'll ever understand 

But you were never there for me when life went bad 

Son, I always tried to give you all the things I never had 

But all I ever wanted was a dad
