Father Figure lyrics

[Instrumental]

[Verse 1]
I heard you were different
Long ago, before I knew you
I was ten the day we met
You said that I was raised wrong
And it destroyed me
Now here I am
At thirty-three
And I have to fight
For my sanity
When I look in the mirror
I'm scared to see
The glimpse of you
And a glimpse of me

[Chorus]
It's such a shame
How people can change
How everything beautiful
Slips away
You taught me a lot
About what not to do
And when I'll be a father
I'll be nothing like you
Nothing like you
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
Life just keeps appearing
You know it too
From your own fathеr
And you thought you'd be different
That you'd nеver be like him
Never did nothing like him
'Cause he destroyed you

[Chorus]
But it's a shame
How people can change
And how everything beautiful
Slips away
You taught me a lot
(You taught me a lot)
About what not to do
(About what not to do)
And when I'll be a father
I'll be nothing like you
Nothing like you
Nothing like you
