The Good Son Lyrics

Now we live in two worlds apart
But I had to find my way
No matter how long or far
Where I'm loved is where I'll stay
I found a way to heal my heart
The time and space to understand
The line was deep I had to draw
I couldn't live my life in mother's hands

How else can I tell you to let me be
Just save yourself, and don't you try to rescue me

I was the good son
You told me I couldn't trust anyone
I was the blind one
To all you did and said that was so wrong
I was the good son
Why did you lay your weight on me for so long?
You kept me weak not strong
You wanted a good son, well I was the good son
All the shame that can't be seen
With all the fire inside me
Undermined, defied my dreams
Now your acts of love won't set me fee
Every lover in your eyes
Ends up using me in time
My father figure's lost in lies
You cast your shadow to never let us shine
So how do I show you all the past mistakes
They make you seem
Impossible to trust, impossible to love

I was the good son
You told me I couldn't trust anyone
I was the blind one
To all you did and said that was so wrong
I was the good son
Why did you lay your weight on me for so long?
You kept me weak not strong
You wanted a good son, well I was the good son
