Going Through The Motions

Cold and silence

Falls on any room when we're face to face

Divided but we both agree

Walking away from each other was a mistake

You were born in 1968

17 years later your dad met his fate

Tried to save his life, but it was too late

You pulled him out of the wreck

Without a doubt it had an effect

Who would think one ride could mean the end

He was everything to you

Like you are everything to me

It was a lot for you to go through

And I don't want it to repeat

So im reaching out my hand

Cause I'm tired of being mad

You need to know I am glad

That your my dad

When I was a boy

All I ever wanted

Was to live up to what you expected of me

I felt like I wasn't so when shit hit the fan

I pushed you away thinking you wouldn't understand

That I didn't feel strong enough to be a man

Deep down I know that isn't true

You would do anything for me

We both know we've hit some potholes

But I'm sure we both agree

We're sick of walking on shattered glass

And tired of hiding behind blank masks

Is it to much to ask

the silence to pass

Cause in the silence I wish to say

That I long for your embrace

We got lost somewhere along the way

So sick of being in this state of disgrace

Forgivness starts to take its shape

The pain has ligered, but our hearts are awake

Its time to comfront this face to face

I'm slowly moving on from the hate

We're gonna move on from the past

Plant a graden that will last

Spend our days filled with laughter

Reaching a new and exciting chapter

We're standing side by side

Finally our strength can be combined

It seams we've wasted so much time

Just to turn out fine

Turn out fine

Turn out fine
