He's got a lot of dead weight

On a frail and delicate frame

Screaming to turn the page

And he says and he says

You know it's never too late

It's too little too late

And we all and we all say

And we all and we all say

All I want is to know

I meant something to somebody else

Where did all of the time go

Coming so fast and fading slow

Note to self I've got room to grow

He's got a lot of dead weight

As a father turning dark and grey

He puts the pen to the paper to trace the words

Of a man withering away

And we all and we all say

And we all and we all say

All I want is to know

I meant something to somebody else

Where did all of the time go

Coming so fast and fading slow

Note to self I've got room to grow

(Instrumental)

Dear father

You molded me to be a better man

And I want you to hear this while you still can

I've been trying to speak to the least of them

To leave my mark on this world

And Dear Father

(All I want) You molded me

(Is to know) To be a better man

(I meant something to somebody else) And I want you to hear this while you still can

(Where did all) I've been trying to speak

(Of the time go) To the least of them

(Coming so fast and fading slow) To leave my mark on this world

Dear father

I won't let you down

I won't let you down

I won't let you down

I won't let you down
