The Man I Used To Be - Lyrics by Jellyfish


Lyrics
I hope you remember me
I was your daddy once
Wearing a sailor cap and dirty nailsto you I'm just a picture on your mother's mantlepiecewho chose to fight the good fight in time to failinto battleand in your shadowyour daddy loves you stillyes i do
I never thought it'd be so hard to see you grow so fastand turn into the man I used to bebut I hope you have more sense than I in matters such as thesemedals don't mean shit when a family is lost at sea
I save every moment I've reached out and almost touched youbut they all fade away must be a bad memory
