The Man I Used To Be
I hope you remember me, I was your daddy once
Wearing a sailor cap and dirty nails
To you I'm just a picture on your mother's mantelpiece
Who chose to fight the good fight in time to fail
Into battle and in your shadow
Your daddy loves you still, yes I do
I never thought it'd be so hard to see you grow so fast
And turn into the man I used to be
But I hope you have more sense than I, in matters such as these
Medals don't mean a shit when a family is lost at sea
Into battle and in your shadow
Your daddy loves you still, yes he does, yes he does
Into battle and in your shadow
Your daddy loves you still, yes he does, yeah, yes he does
I save every moment I've reached out and almost touched you
But they all fade away, must be a bad memory
Into battle and in your shadow
Your daddy loves you still, yes he does, yes he does
Into battle and in your shadow
Your daddy loves you still, yes he does, yeah, yes he does, yes he does
Wearing a sailor cap and dirty nails
To you I'm just a picture on your mother's mantelpiece
Who chose to fight the good fight in time to fail
Into battle and in your shadow
Your daddy loves you still, yes I do
I never thought it'd be so hard to see you grow so fast
And turn into the man I used to be
But I hope you have more sense than I, in matters such as these
Medals don't mean a shit when a family is lost at sea
Into battle and in your shadow
Your daddy loves you still, yes he does, yes he does
Into battle and in your shadow
Your daddy loves you still, yes he does, yeah, yes he does
I save every moment I've reached out and almost touched you
But they all fade away, must be a bad memory
Into battle and in your shadow
Your daddy loves you still, yes he does, yes he does
Into battle and in your shadow
Your daddy loves you still, yes he does, yeah, yes he does, yes he does
