i fought you when we first met
i broke your ribs and blacked your eye
yet even though blood was let
you called me father and it wasnt a lie
i found you an orphan in trouble
it seemed i was seeing double
i saw in you everything i was
even running from the fuzz
you held me up so high
knowing id fail you in the end
i held you so close not wanting you to die
but death will never bend
you were the first person to show me i was human
you showed me what it was to be a man
and ive failed you again my friend
so i hope you get the prayers i send
i held your daughter when she was born
i watched as your girls heart was torn
i helped you mend your family
but in the end its nothing but calamity
ive done everything i could for you
more than your real father would do
i whored myself for your hearth
and watched your babies birth
i can never give you enough
for what youve given me
youve showed me even though life is tough
i dont always have to be
i have one last thing to say
before i end this rotten day
even though you arent truly my son
in my heart of hearts you are my only one
