A Father, A Son

You were a man
You fell in love
I didn’t understand
Where you were coming from
My father was made by sacrifice
Never admit he was torn
As his dreams died
Don’t bottle it up
Let the children sleep
Then you can cry
Force some relief
But I
Don’t know if I’m right
Am I living my life
Am I living a lie
And I
I can’t fill your shoes
A failed attempt
To look like you
But I just want to be happy
I just want to be happy
I just want to be happy
