Don't be ridiculous

some things come and some go

I know your sick of this

but I could never let you know

I hope you can understand

understand one day

you're father lost your mother

N he was never the same

but this ain't the real me

(get real) oh hell how dare I lie

what's more real than the man

standing staring into her eyes

but I've never been one to break

but I couldn't bare to see

your face when you heard

its you're father, I'm sorry its too late he's deceased

I'm so sorry baby girl

I never wanted you to know

this side of your father

the side i'd never show

cause I've been beaten and bloodied by the burdens I've bared

I never conquered my demons they're right over there

in a bottle on the shelf passed down from my father

but i'd sooner die... than pass it on to my daughter

(on to my daughter)

don't get the wrong idea

I'm not half the man he was

he worked through the cancer

never complained no not once

because what good would that do when there isn't no cure

just relief in a bottle N more pills on the floor

from the the night I fell off

the wagon so hard

bleeding and screaming

do you hate me looooOOOrd?

I'm so sorry baby girl

I never wanted you to know

this side of your father

the side i'd never show

cause I've been beaten and bloodied by the burdens I've bared

I never conquered my demons they're right over there

in a bottle on the shelf passed down from my father

but i'd sooner die... than pass it on to my daughter

(on to my daughter)

Don't be ridiculous

some things come and some things go

I know your sick of this

but I could never let youuu know

Don't be ridiculous

some things come and some things go

I know your sick of this

but I could never let youuu knoooOOOW

what if I showed sometimes it wasn't okay

i took my mask off n I let my cape slip away

not today I've been in pain but I gotta be brave

a person in this world with courage, one who never stray's

then I think about my father, n the man that he portrayed

the portrait of a perfect person... n I am amazed

then I think of all the things... he never let me see

burdens he carried daily, for my sister and me

N I think... just maybe... i am doing the same

N maybe I'm just writing on another rainy day

(N it'll all be okay)

I'm so sorry baby girl

I'll never let you know

this side of your father

the side i'd never show

cause I've been beaten and bloodied by the burdens I've bared

I never conquered my demons they're right over there

in a bottle on the shelf passed down from my father

but the hardships are lessons passed on to my daughter

(...on to my daughter)
