He'd be pourin one more
As the sun came up
He'd say, 'Do your Dad a favor, fill me up'
It's not his fault, she told me
Trying to hold a tear
'At your age, his dad just disappeared'
This stops with me
The past will be gone
I will not pass it on
This stops with me
The pain will be gone
I will not pass it on
Now I'm always tired
And I don't want to think
I'm just looking forward
To another drink
This stops with me
The past will be gone
I will not pass it on
This stops with me
The pain will be gone
I will not pass it on
The past won't win
I won't be just like him
I'll never be just like him
Got a message last night
You were shaking on the phone
We're gonna have a child of our own
This stops with me
The past will be gone
I will not pass it on
This stops with me
The pain will be gone
I will not pass it
This will stop with me
This will stop with me
This will stop with me
