FATHER
My father taught me patience
My father taught me strength
And my father gave me time
No, my father
I looked my father in the eyes
And told him his mother was gone
And that day I became a man
That day I lost what I begun
Yeah she said she was losing patience
Said she was not complacent
Said it’s the game we play
Yeah she said it’s the game we playing
Said he’s not coming back
Said he’s not leaving now
Said you look like her
Yeah she said she might not be that now
Yeah she said she was losing patience
Said she was not complacent
Said it’s the game we play
Yeah she said it’s the game we playing
Said he’s not coming back
Said he’s not leaving now
Said you look like her
Yeah she said she might not be that now
And I thought I lost my patience
(And I thought I lost my patience)
And I thought I lost my strength
(I thought I lost my strength)
And I thought I lost my time
(And I thought I lost my time)
And I thought you wouldn’t mind it
(And I thought you wouldn’t mind)
She said she was losing patience
I said we were losing pages
You know the kind I am, no?
You know this world is dangerous
And I know the kind I am though
The kind we owe these places
The kind we need to hide from
No, the reason we change our faces
And I know that night in my old car
The fight that we fought places
The world didn’t feel so cold
No you helped me write more pages
So I thank you for the chances
Cause’ I bleed for the changes
Cause’ the last time I spoke, no
I dream’t outside these cages
My father taught me patience
No, my father taught me strength
No, this is the life we’ve chosen
To know it’s the rights we’ve changed
I think I need some sign
No, I think I need some space
To tell you that, that shit’s wrong though
To put the pieces back in place
And I know what it’s like to hold on
I know what it’s like to leave
And I know what it’s like to tell you
That this time, it’s what I need
And it took it all just to speak
And took it all just to try
And I know this air i’m breathing
It’s keeping my eyes dry
My father taught me patience
My father taught me strength
And my father gave me time
No, my father
I looked my father in the eyes
And told him his mother was gone
And that day I became a man
That day I lost what I begun
