Don’t you see you’re doing the same thing your father did before you
It’s generation on generation of abandonment
In your family tree
And I know this is not who you are
But every decision has a consequence that can last a lifetime
You say you want out it’s over
But what about them
They’re left to pick up the pieces
Of their broken lives
Don’t tell me everything worked out just fine
When I know you’re running away from this
You’re not a man
You just keep running from the life that you had
I’ll say it once again
You’re not a man
You just keep running from the life that you had
This ain’t no place for a child
I know you got problems we all got problems but it’s how you go about it that
counts
Real men stand firm no matter the cost so wake up It’s time to snap out of your funk
And I hope one day you finally see
You keep running and running but you’ll never escape
The problem will always be you
You say you want out it’s over
But what about them
They’re left to pick up the pieces
Of their broken lives
Don’t tell me everything worked out just fine
When I know you’re running away from this
You’re not a man
You just keep running from the life that you had
I’ll say it once again
You’re not a man
You just keep running from the life that you had
This ain’t no place for a child
This is the real world there ain’t no changing that
This is the real world there ain’t no coming back
I wanted to be there for you
I wanted to be there you pushed me away
