Unfortunate Son

I know I've hurt some people Too many ways for me to tell They send me tears and letters I never meant to be in this hell I walk a long and lonesome road There's a million pounds on my back I should've been successful and happy But I ended up losing sight of the track To my mother, I lied because I needed it To my father, I never meant to be this way To my siblings, I never meant to let you down I only tried to live life and get by each day It was all too good to be true I always thought it would last I guess I got what I deserved I just wish it didn't go by so fast I know I've hurt some people Too many ways for me to tell They send me tears and letters I never meant to be in this hell
