Lyric Father

I ve looked the wicked in the face
And there s nothing wrong with me
I ve talked to people torn apart
So blind they couldn t see

And I ve stood alone with nothing left
With knives stuck in my back
I ve paid my dues but no to loose
And I won t fall through the cracks

I wanna say, father are you proud of me
I want you to know, I was never proud of you
I wanna say, did you ever waste a thought on me
I want you to know, the hell you put me through

You dragged my name all through the mud
But I withstood the test
And sat back laughing drinking Bud
You where just like all the rest

My friends where few and far between
But I know that I was blessed
And I know there s lot s you haven t seen
And I plan to laugh the best

I wanna say, father are you proud of me
I want you to know, I was never proud of you
I wanna say, did you ever waste a thought on me
I want you to know, all the hell you put me through

All the little mistakes, we all make
Are nothing compared to what I ve seen
And now it s too late, you ll never change what you mean to me

I wanna say, father are you proud of me
I want you to know, I was never proud of you
I wanna say, that it never even bothered me
I want you to know, the hell you put me through

I wanna say, I m exactly what I want to be
I want you to know, there was nothing wrong with me
