“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…)
