A Father Whom Can Not Return (Angel of Sadness)

I used to think about what life would be like When I turned twenty-five Of coarse I mess up, but I'm granted plenty of tries Tomorrow doesn't matter, for I'm trapped in now I used to kiss your mother in all places other than her mouth Not referring to you as a mistake But now I'm wondering how I guess the chances I was given, I have taken And I'll never learn Now I'm just a father whom can't return I used to never worry about growing old I used to say I'd keep my temperature Even in the blistering cold Daylight seemed so shady And I'd shadow every truth my mystery told Maybe life will turn me into a hardworking man Stars in the night sky openly stand Maybe life will lead me to live out my fantasies I'll be everything, we once as children ran to see My peers will mourn For I am now a father whom can't return I couldn't rehearse a lie And I couldn't re word a well told story So I have heard, but what more does life have to offer me Late at night I witness you lay down and pray for a softer me What would you prefer to see I fear that I'll be no better than you were to me Now I'mma father whom can't return
