You must promise you will 
Never speak again of this to me 
慍ause I could never look my son
In the eye and tell him 
Just exactly what his daddy did
With the souls of all the broken ones
I could never understand exactly why
You had feelings for these
Worthless human flies
And when I looked into your eyes
I felt
I felt broken
Yes, it抯 true
I wanted to be like you 
And yes, I knew
I could never be like you 
And I saw them kneeling there
To their God on his big throne
And I started to see you 
Shying away from all the angels
It抣l never be the way it was again 
You couldn抰 see that I 
Treated you just like a son
And if I held others just like you 
It抯 only because I 
Created all men equal
I could never understand exactly why 
You would spit into your loving father抯 eyes
Oh my father how am I
Supposed to say I抦 sorry?
Yes, it抯 true
I wanted to be like you
And yes, I knew
I could never be like you
And I saw them kneeling there
To their God on his big throne
And I started to see you 
Shying away from all the angels
I forgive you. Don抰 you know?
I just don抰 care
I could never be the one
Ever be your son
I could never be the father No
