Like My Father (The Colour Part II)

I used to say at 17
I'll never be my fathers son
But here I lay at 28
And that's exactly who I've become
I've been pissing in the wind
Just to prove that I was different
And show, I just have his face
But what I found
In smoke written in the distance
Is the words "we're just the same"

So throw it away
Burn it down in flames
I know how this ends
So I won't tell you to stay
You deserve better than
The life that my mother had
Cause I'll work myself to death
Exactly like my father did

And there's no hiding that
So let's not pretend
That the same mistakes that our parents made
Will keep us from making them again

I'm sick and I know I got a problem
That I know how to solve but I can't
Is this it, have I finally hit the bottom?
I can't help that I inherited this

So throw it away
Burn it down in flames
I know how this ends
So I won't tell you to stay
You deserve better than
The life that my mother had
Cause I'll work myself to death
Exactly like my father did

I know my problem is
I don't know when to quit
So I'll work myself to death
Exactly like my father did

You deserve better than
The life that my mother had
