Every generation
Blames the one before
And all of their frustrations
Come beating on your door
I know that i'm a prisoner
To all my father held so dear
I know that i'm a hostage
I just wish i could have told him in the living years
Crumpled bits of paper
Filled with imperfect thought
Stilted conversations
I'm afraid that's all we've got
You say you just don't see it
He says it's perfect sense
You just can't get agreement
In this present tense
We all talk a different language
Talking in defence
Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It's too late when we die
To admit we don't see eye to eye
Between the present and the past
We only sacrifice the future
It's the bitterness that lasts
So don't yield to the fortunes
You sometimes see as fate
On a different day
And if you don't give up, and don't give in
You may just be o.k.
Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It's too late when we die
To admit we don't see eye to eye
I wasn't there that morning
When my father passed away
I didn't get to tell him
All the things i had to say
Later that same year
I'm sure i heard his echo
In my baby's new born tears
I just wish i could have told him in the living years
Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It's too late when we die
To admit we don't see eye to eye

I said "go if you wanna go,

I didn't care if you hung around me

I didn't care if you hung around me

There is nothing wrong with me
There's nothing wrong with you
Maybe we're just blind to see
Each other's point of view
Nobody knows what we had
Nobody...
I said "Go if you wanna go
Stay if you wanna stay"
I didn't care if you hung around me
I didn't care if you went away
And I know you were never right

Looking back over my shoulder
I can see that look in your eye
I never dreamed it could be over
I never wanted to say goodbye
Looking back over my shou...
I said Go if you wanna go stay
If you wanna stay
I didn't care if you hung around me
I didn't care if you went away
And I know you were never right
I'...
You can't forgive
And you won't forget
We did something
That we both regret mea culpa
I held my breath while you
Took your time
To tell the world
What...
