For You

I'm not the man that you think I am But I am doing my best to become him A broken past that I can't erase In all this chaos, I found my place I like to think that I'm your saving grace But the truth is that you saved me I wont let you take My heart from my chest Cause its all that I have left I saw your face And I took my first breath I'm doing everything I can To keep my head above water I'm not the man you think I am But I'm doing my best to become him We build our home on unstable ground A structure built out of promise Bending and breaking at the slightest hint of stress I'm sick of keeping score And paying dues to that I can't afford I'll never go back to where I've been I swore I'd never be alone again I'm doing everything I can To keep my head above water I'm not the man you think I am But I'm doing my best to become him You're all thats keeping this growing hole, from Eating its way through my awful soul, and I never meant to build a broken home out of Arguments and broken bones After all the things that i fucked up You're the only thing that I'm proud of You'll understand it when you're all grown up You made me finally feel like i was good enough You've rebuilt me a thousand times Mended my frame and rebuilt my mind Lost in my thoughts before, but now I'm found The path you made, leading me out I'm doing everything I can To keep my head above water Im not the man you think I am But I'm doing my best to become him
