| Don’t you see you’re doing the same thing your father did before you
|
| It’s generation on generation of abandonment
|
| In your family tree
|
| And I know this is not who you are
|
| But every decision has a consequence that can last a lifetime
|
| You say you want out it’s over
|
| But what about them
|
| They’re left to pick up the pieces
|
| Of their broken lives
|
| Don’t tell me everything worked out just fine
|
| When I know you’re running away from this
|
| You’re not a man
|
| You just keep running from the life that you had
|
| I’ll say it once again
|
| You’re not a man
|
| You just keep running from the life that you had
|
| This ain’t no place for a child
|
| I know you got problems we all got problems but it’s how you go about it that
|
| counts
|
| Real men stand firm no matter the cost so wake up
|
| It’s time to snap out of your funk
|
| And I hope one day you finally see
|
| You keep running and running but you’ll never escape
|
| The problem will always be you
|
| You say you want out it’s over
|
| But what about them
|
| They’re left to pick up the pieces
|
| Of their broken lives
|
| Don’t tell me everything worked out just fine
|
| When I know you’re running away from this
|
| You’re not a man
|
| You just keep running from the life that you had
|
| I’ll say it once again
|
| You’re not a man
|
| You just keep running from the life that you had
|
| This ain’t no place for a child
|
| This is the real world there ain’t no changing that
|
| This is the real world there ain’t no coming back
|
| I wanted to be there for you
|
| I wanted to be there you pushed me away |
