As Father and Son, without asking, your creation, you were the one
Learn to love me as I am, I need you, and I’ll give you, everything I can
Every time I talk with you, it ultimately ends in tears
Its hard to take advice as a boy of 7 years
Put yourself in my shoes, and picture my life how I live
I have more questions than the answers you’re prepared to give
This is me, I’m trying to be, the son who makes
You proud please try to understand where I’m coming from
Try to remember
On the inside, I’m still a boy, time lets me grow
Perhaps just a simple case of getting older and wiser
Dad picture the scene, Bully Boy is, chasing me, and I’m trying to break free
It wasn’t me who started all this, he pushed me, and he kicked me, and he called me Geek
And every time I try and talk with you, you tell me I should stand my ground
Face up to these demons, fight, and watch them run
And every time you say you’ll lend me an ear
It ultimately ends in tears
You never sympathise with my worries my inner fears
