Verse 1]

I used to spit fire at your name

Said I wouldn’t shed a tear at your grave

You were the storm in my small house

You taught me fear

Then you shut me out

Grew up building walls around my room

Learned to hide my heart inside a wound

Told myself I’d never be like you

Told myself I’d never need you

But I cried the loudest when I got the call saying that you took you're last breath

All that anger in my chest

Turned to something I can’t shake

Can’t explain

Yeah

I feel it in my soul when I breathe

All the hurt you gave to me

Still pressing on my chest, but I’m standing here missing what I never really had

History repeats itself again I guess

I keep you far away from my kids

Kept their little hearts out of your mess

Thought if I cut the chain in half

They could grow up brave

They could grow up fast

But they’re growing up with stories

Not your hands

Empty chair where a gentle man should stand

They don’t get a grandfather at all

Just like I never had one to call

And I cried the loudest when I got the call saying that you took you're last breath

All that anger in my chest

Turned to something I can’t shake

Can’t explain

Yeah

I feel it in my soul when I breathe

All the hurt you gave to me

Still pressing on my chest but I’m standing here missing what I never really had

History repeats itself again I guess

You had anger toward your father

I had anger toward you too

Now I watch my children

Learn the same old truth

We keep trading silence

Like some family curse

I don’t know how to break it

But I’ll try for them first

‘Cause I cried the loudest when I got the call saying that you took you're last breath

All that anger in my chest

Turned to something I can’t shake

Can’t explain

Yeah

I feel it in my soul when I breathe

All the hurt you gave to me

I’m still standing here

Swearing I’ll be better than you were

History can end with us this I swear father rest in peace
