Fathers And Compromise

There were a lot of things you could have did
But you didn't
And there were a lot of things you could have said
Guess you thought I didn't need them

And I feel something's turned in me
And I fear the same doubts that burned you and cut me crawling in me

There were a lot of letters you could have sent
But you didn't
And there were a lot of phone calls you could have made
Guess you thought I didn't need them

And I feel something's turned in me
And I fear the same doubts that burned you and cut me crawling in me

Yeah, I've been branded
Lord, I'm stranded
I could use a lift
This life comes brilliant
Then turns futile
I understand what it is

There were a lot of ways you could have changed
But you didn't
And there was a lot of love you could have saved
Guess you thought I wouldn't need it

And I feel something's turned in me
And I fear the same doubts that burned you and cut me crawling in me

Yeah, I've been branded
Lord, I'm stranded
I could use a lift
This life comes brilliant
Then turns futile
I understand what it is

Yeah, I've been branded
Lord, I'm stranded
I could use a lift
This life comes brilliant
Then turns futile
Crushed between the curse again
