You try your hardest to leave the past alone.
This crooked posture is all you?ve ever known.
You are so much more than your fathers son.
You are so much more than what Ive become.
Long before you were born there was light
Hidden deep in these young, unfamiliar eyes.
You are so much more than your fathers son.
You are so much more than what Ive become,
You pressed rewind
For the thousandth time
When the tapes wore through.
So you memorized
Those unscripted lines,
When the scale tipped,
When you inherited
A fight that you were born to lose.
Its not your fault,
No, its not your fault,
I put this heavy heart in you.
I put this heavy heart in you.
You remind me of who I could have been,
Had I been stronger and braver way back then.
You are so much more than your fathers son.
You are so much more than the wars youve won.
