I thought I told you
I will tell you when you're older, son
Look in the mirror, man
I know I'm not the only one
It's okay if you can't
I know it's hard work
Help me understand
I'm face down in the dirt
As the years go by
I see it more and more in me
I'm getting older now
There's things that you're not telling me
Like how to be a man
You'd think it's clear to me
But you don't understand
Just why I disagree
I thought I told you
I will tell you when you're older, son
Look in the mirror, man
I know I'm not the only one
It's okay if you can't
I know it's hard work
Help me understand
I'm face down in the dirt
I'm my father's son
I'm my father's son
I'm my father's son
You should know by now
I only wanna make you proud
But now I'm 26
And I can't stop f*cking around
This was not my plan
You'll have to take my word
Help me understand
A life that I deserve
I thought I told you
I will tell you when you're older, son
Look in the mirror, man
I know I'm not the only one
It's okay if you can't
I know it's hard work
Help me understand
I'm face down in the dirt
I'm my father's son
I'm my father's son
I'm my father's son
