Different Life

You were always working in late

Gave us everything we need

But lately, my perspective changed

I think I'm finally starting to see

That '99 was the year you fell apart

Your plans got rearranged to mend a broken heart and

Before you knew it, you're a father of five

And can't help but think if you were able

You'd choose a different life

You'd live a different life

Did you ever want this?

Was it all just pretend?

'Cause all I ever wanted was to make you proud in the end

And every day, I'm learning shit I wish I never heard

Won't be the same, I can finally see the damage you did to her

Why can't you be the man I thought you were?

Will we ever be enough?

Will you always wish things turned out different?

Well, maybe if I was someone else

You'd start to care, then you finally listen 'cause

Your words cut deeper than the world's sharpest knife

Can't help but think if you were able

You'd choose a different life

Whoa, and you'd live a different life

Did you ever want this?

Was it all just pretend?

'Cause all I ever wanted was to make you proud in the end

And every day I'm learning shit I wish I never heard

Won't be the same, I can finally see the damage you did to her

Why can't you be the man I thought you were?

You were always working in late

Gave us everything we need

But lately, my perspective changed

I think I'm finally starting to see
