The day I built to shed my father wept Cause I was growing up to be a man My brothers and sisters they all fled Am I supposed to just stay where I am? Oh, I wish I was a fighter But I ain't been brought up that away Should have lied to her But I ain't been brought up that away Wish I was a fighter But I ain't been brought up that away Should have lied to her But I ain't been brought up that away Looking through old photographs it came across a time When sending love with stamps will all we have And I'm telling you the truth it's the only hand I'll hold I know that one of this days is for letting go Oh, I wish I was a fighter But I ain't been brought up that away Should have lied to her But I ain't been brought up that away Wish I was a fighter But I ain't been brought up that away Should have lied to her But I ain't been brought up that away Who had the last word Never did it work In any confrontacion I've had Choose to be a bigger Never that you were in any conversations on hand Oh, wish I was a fighter But ain't been brought up that away Should have lied But ain't been brought up that away Wish I was a fighter But ain't been brought up that away Should have lied to her But ain't been brought up that away
