f** it- If I could paint you a picture of clouds and trees And show you all of the finer things I'd dry out your leaves and paint the sky black and white To prove we're not the same I've seen people who've never peaked I've seen dreams die in front of me I hate you for now but you won't defy my past I'll prove we're not the same I heard today from a friend of a friend I guess this is how it goes They said you're better now Moved on transcend, so I thought I should let you know That I'm just the same, this families bent The American dream they visioned then They had to let it go, and let it mend So for Christ sake just leave us be Give me some space and let me breathe I was too young back then to see How you affected me I hope everything you've come to know walks out on you If I could paint you a picture of clouds and trees And show you all of the finer things I'd dry out your leaves and paint the sky black and white To prove we're not the same I've seen people who've never peaked I've seen dreams die in front of me I hate you for now but you won't defy my past I'll prove we're not the same You came and you saw and you broke and you took You ripped and you tore every page from our book This house now a war, our foundation was shook And the impression you left on how a family should look I hated you when I was young I hope your conscience leaves you sleepless I pity you as time goes on I'd like to think your worlds in pieces For Christ sake just leave us be Give me some space and let me breathe I was too young back then to see How you affected me I hope everything you've come to know walks out on you I hope someday you feel the pain you put me through If I could paint you a picture of clouds and trees And show you all of the finer things I'd dry out your leaves and paint the sky black and white To prove we're not the same I've seen people who've never peaked I've seen dreams die in front of me I hate you for now but you won't defy my past I'll prove we're not the same I hope someday you feel the pain I hope someday you feel the pain I hope someday you feel the pain I hope someday you feel the pain I hope someday I heard it today from a friend of a friend I guess this is how it goes He said you're better now But I doubt you've grown And when your son grows up I hope he sees The coward and the crook And the world you took away from me So I thought I'd let you know That my father's twice the man That you could ever be And when your son grows up I hope he sees the coward and the crook The house you shook And the world you took away from me...
