“Like father like son”

Intro (soft, emotional)
Mmm… yeah…
Said you’d never be like him…
But look what you did to me…
(ad-libs: yeah… oh… mmm)
Verse 1
You told me stories ‘bout your past
How he walked out and never came back
Said you hated everything he did
Said you’d never treat a woman like that
Late nights on the phone with me
Saying I’m everything you need
But love started feeling different
When you stopped choosing me
(ad-libs: choosing me… yeah…)
Pre-Chorus
Boy, I saw the signs
But I tried to give you time
Thought your love was real
Now it’s looking like a lie
(harmonies: lie… lie…)
Chorus
Like father, like son
Guess the damage already done
Said you’d never be the one
To leave me lonely on the run
But you turned into someone
You swore you’d never become
Now I’m crying to the moon
Singing like father… like son
(ad-libs: ohhh… yeah… why you do me like that…)
Verse 2
You started pulling away slowly
Acting like you don’t know me
All the love you used to show me
Now it’s just a memory
And the truth hit harder than I thought
Like a pain I can’t outrun
Treating me like your mother when your father left her for another
Guess you really are his son
(ad-libs: mm… just like him…)
Pre-Chorus
I tried to hold on
But your heart already gone
Now the love we had before
Just another sad song
(harmonies: sad song… sad song…)
Chorus
Like father, like son
Running when the love gets tough
Said you’d never do me wrong
But you did just what he’s done
Now you’re someone I don’t know
Someone I can’t love
And it hurts to face the truth
Like father… like son
(ad-libs: ohhhh… yeah… look what you’ve become…)
Bridge 🌙 (very emotional, slow build)
I held you when you cried about him
Told you you’d never be the same
But you took all of my love
Just to play the same damn game
Now I’m sitting with the heartbreak
Your mama probably felt before
And the way you walked away from me
Looked just like him walking out the door
You said you hated what he did
Said you’d never make me feel alone
But the saddest part about it is…
You proved his blood runs through your bones
(harmonies: through your bones… bones…)
Final Chorus
Like father, like son
Another promise left undone
You became the one thing
You said you’d never become
Now the truth cuts deep
And the damage has been done
I guess I should’ve known
Like father… like son
(big ad-libs: ohhhh… yeah… why you do me like that… mm…)
Outro
You said you’d never be him…
But now I see the truth…
Like father…
Like son…
(soft harmonies fading: like father… like son…)

R&B heartbreak kinda
