I’m hurting myself not being what you want me to be

Dad, you only see what you want to see

You think the issues are the ones in front of you

Couldn’t you try and see my point of view

How was today for you did get done what you wanted to

I just wanted to get through the day

I couldn’t be in the moment like you tell me to

I was afraid of being me just showing up at school

How does this land with you do you understand what I’m going through

I really could use your support

I know you think I got it easy but this is so hard for me

You may be the only person I’ve got to talk to

And I’ve got to talk to you

I get to talk to you

About my deeper truth

Did you know it takes an hour from our house to where I work

Most days I barely make it in on time - traffic’s been the worst

And half the people in my office don’t know my name

I’m just the guy who does the books and helps to get ‘em paid

And by the time I’m home all I want to do is sleep

But when you’re the head of a family

Man, you’re in deep

I can’t just be in the moment like you want me to

Son I’m afraid I’m not showing up for you…

Aren’t we lucky, that we’ve got each other

Aren’t we lucky we can talk about anything, everything and nothing

And we always will
