MOTHER AND SON

I know I’ve always failed you
I never reach the mark
I’ve tried to be what you wished of me
A search into the dark.

I love you
And I don’t know how to say it
I love you
Yet with every breath I pay it…
Mother and son
Take your hopes and take your turn
Mother and son
Take your dreams and watch them burn.

I’ve been that disappointment
I know that’s understood
I never stood on my own two feet
Yours were just as good.

I’ve always been a failure
Bad luck is my friend
My dad saw me as one lost cause
Even at his end.
