Ít's all an act, I can see through it
So can everybody else
If you wanna be a better person
Stop lying to yourself

And be the man your father never was
Be the man your father never was

Aren't you tired of denial?
How long have you been wishing you were dead?
Don't you wanna put your guard down?
Hush the memories in your head
Tell me how you really fell
Even if the feeling isn't great, please
Let go of your expectations of me
And I will do the same

You'll be the man your father never was
Be the man your father never was

I forgive you
I'll be just fine
But there's still time to

Be the man your father never was
The man your father never was
Be the man your father never was
The man your father never really was
