Here I sit once again
I'm missin you like crazy baby
I've screwed up again and again
keep making the same mistakes
Don't wanna be an old man
with nothin figured out yet baby
I gotta start sometime soon
I wish I never hurt you
I wish I Never hurt you
I'm doin the best I can
livin' like any man
My father used to say it to me
he said 'while you're young,
you gotta learn the hard way son'
I can't call you up to talk
I know you're moving on now baby
You've learnt to steer real clear
of guys that resemble me now
but dont i know im on my own
Its all about decisions baby
This was the ultimate test
once again i failed myself
and i failed you too
and it hurts like hell
I'm doin the best i can
livin like any man
My father used to say it to me
he said 'while you're young,
you gotta learn the hard way son'
(its the only way youre gonna learn)
