Lyrics Fathers Acoustic - Commonwealth

Fathers Acoustic

And I miss when I didn’t know who you even were
Before my mother told me, she said this is your dad
Why not let him in?
And even though I shouldn’t have
I did, and now I know I won’t forget
I found my heart on the floor
For years I’ve pretended, I forgot who you were
I’ve been lying to myself because I didn’t want to care
And now you’re here to show your face again
My father, he never believed in me
Believed in you, believed in us or this family
And I, I wonder how it would’ve been
If my mother lied and told me you were dead
I let go of all securities
And I watched you leave this time
I hope it’s for good, not like the last
I may finally find closure
I want the door closed but you left it open
You told me it would be alright
I trusted you would leave this time
I just want to live my life
But you created a void
Between father and son
For the rest of my life
Gave you the benefit of the doubt when you didn’t deserve it
My father, he never believed in me
Believed in you, believed in us or this family
And I, I wonder how it would’ve been
If my mother lied and told me you were dead
I wish that she lied and told me that you were dead
I guess that I thought that I’d never see you again
I let go of my securities
Don’t come back
Reset // Replay // Rewind
Don’t come back
Reset // Replay // Rewind
