I look at my dad some days
I think of all he has done
I think of all the choices he’s made
I think of how he was once young

He was once like me
Wasn’t sure where he’d go
Unsure of his place in life
So many things he didn’t know

But he took it day by day
He went through all the years
There were times he was happy
Others when he shed some tears

But he’s turned out great
A man I can look up to
I’m sure he has many regrets
But I think that we all do

Life will run its course
You can’t turn things back
Once you choose your road
You have to take your best crack

I’m not proud of all of my past
And I’m sure there’s worse to come
And through it all I’ve always thought
I can live with what I have done

This doesn’t make things right
I know there’s nothing that can
I’m just trying to be like my father
I’m just trying to be a man

I’m sorry for anything I’ve done
That has made you feel pain
But I hope there’s been enough good
To make our time be a gain

I never meant to hurt you
Yea, that’s been said a lot
But I hope you know I mean it
I’ve given you all I got

We wouldn’t have to go through this
If the world was a perfect place
Then I wouldn’t have to be apologizing
Or I wouldn’t be pleading my case

We’d be over at your house
Holding each other tight
Laying on your couch
With no end in sight

But unfortunately that’s not right
Things aren’t how they should be
I would say life isn’t fair to us
But you should probably blame me

Some say you don’t know
What you had until it’s gone
That’s probably true
It may turn out I was wrong

But I need to move on
I can’t stay here
My hearts not into it anymore
And for you that’s not fair

I don’t want you out of my life
I need you to be something new
Because no matter what happens
I will always care about you
