Fatherless

Here's to my desire to remember what he left

But, there was no time for sentiment as he took his final breath

I was not too broken to hope for a helping hand, but I had to fight to find it

Eight years old is too young to become a man; I left my hope behind me

I was just another angry kid, growing up without a dad

So I sold my soul for the highest bid, to get the love I never had

Tell me who I am

A kid that turned to the world for identity

I can hardly stand

Trying to find myself, I confined myself

Now I've come to see, it was never "me" I was looking for

It was always him, it was always him

Born from a broken home

When my father died, I was left to find my way through life alone

Left on my own, I put my pain on display as I fought with hatred and rage

No son should ever have to face the world without the love of his father

I faced the world alone

I had no one to run to, and everything to run from

I had no one to run to, and everything to run from

I buried my hope in the ground

Drowning, with no one to pull me out, sinking inside my head

I was just another angry kid growing up without a dad

So I sold my soul for the highest bid to get the love I never had

Tell me who I am

A kid that turned to the world for identity

I can hardly stand

Trying to find myself, I confined myself

Now I've come to see, it was never "me" I was looking for

It was always him, it was always him

Tell me who I am

I can hardly stand

Now I've come to see, it was never "me" I was looking for

It was always him, it was always him
