Lee Royle - All Too Familiar lyrics

[Verse 1] At times I tell myself, 'cause I'm the only one I listen too Micheal man I'm sick of you! How could you be so hypercritical? A few years ago you wouldn't smoke, now look what you're addicted to And you wonder why your ridiculed You're so different than you used to be It's almost like you isn't who you was when you was still a youth What's got into you? Not only are you smoking bud, to top it off your drinking too! And getting nicked every time you're getting pissed And I've figured all the cigs you use in all your spliffs addictive too You need to pick a route, look at what your father's like You don't wanna end up in his shoes Another sh** excuse for a dad, he lived to use Abusing what he can to lift his mood I think crack head would be the thing they'd use As a descriptive tool if in a witness interview I'm just saying you should think it through [Chorus] This life, and all you had you wasted away One last look in the mirror I'd cry, if it would wash the pain from my face Feels all too familiar [Verse 2] You know I only spit the truth Sometimes when you look into the mirror I see him in you I look deep in your eyes and each and individual Mistake you've made simmers through, always got something to prove It's better to regret the things you've done, than sh** you didn't do But now you're about to have a kid, so you got everything to lose You have to give your child what your dad never gave to you You was man enough to stick it in, be man enough to stick it through And you're just gonna have to handle that Collateral damage happens man I know it's hard to fathom that You make your bed you lie in it, I'll just say the fact is that I'll die before I let my kid call another man his dad! It never happens quite the way you have it planned And prides one thing that never seems to pa** the glands I couldn't wash it down regardless of the cans I drank I just want my child to know I'll be there for him hand in hand [Chorus] This life, and all you had you wasted away One last look in the mirror I'd cry, if it would wash the pain from my face Feels all too familiar [Verse 3] Pardon me for being stupid I lost my way and now I realise I need to change Apologies for these excuses I've been foolish there's no reasoning for my mistakes
