The Hard Way

[Verse 1]
Beat me down with words and steal my air
Fill my head with things that you want there
Blind my eyes so I can barely see
Take control and live my life for me
So afraid that I might have ideas
On what I'll miss and what life really is
Down the road I will be on my own
Sheltered life, the only thing I've known

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Get on with it, you forget what life is about
You will regret what you did if you wake up
Too much for me to forgive, you've fucked me up
Do not forget what I said, I've had enough

[Chorus 1]
Father please, I wanna live my life
The way I see it keeps me satisfied
All this time you could've helped me out
By showing me what life is all about

[Verse 2]
Waking up, I slowly make my way
I go to work, I make it everyday
Trouble when I have to interact
Use of words and social skills I lack
Doing fine when I am left alone
I end my day and made my way back home
Night rolls in and as I crawl in bed
I still remember everything you said

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Get out of here, I don't care if you live on
I never make a mistake, you're not my son
You're everything that I'm not, you only lack
If only I had a chance, I'd send you back

[Chorus 2]
Not my seed, you said it's in my eyes
I do not need you standing by my side
What you've done to me, I can't forgive
I'll live my life the way I want to live

[Outro]
Years go by since I've been on my own
I'm doing well although I've left your home
Things you could've taught me yesterday
I'm learning everything the hard way, the hard way
