They always say blood is thicker than water
And I can feel his running through my veins
And trust me when I say
They both boil just the same
Oh, how I wish there was a way
To hack into this brain
And change the way I think
To make me feel normal, to make me feel okay
But some things can never change

Oh, what have I become
Guess they were right
When they said I'm my father's son
No matter how hard I tried
I can't deny it any longer
Guess some things never really die
Like father, like son

I remember she couldn't stop crying
The day he left our lives
Yet I knew a part of her had to be relieved
To finally, after all this time, be free
Well she already knows he's a part of me
She might never admit it
But I can see that hurt resurface every time
Yeah, every time she looks into my eyes

Oh, what have I become
Guess they were right
When they said I'm my father's son
No matter how hard I tried
I can't deny it any longer
Guess some things never really die
Like father, like son
(x2)

Maybe I should've focused less
On biting my tongue
And more on holding my breath
Before his secondhand smoke
Could fill these lungs

Oh, what have I become
Oh, what have I become
Oh, what have I become

Guess they were right
When they said I'm my father's son
No matter how hard I tried
I can't deny it any longer
Guess some things never really die
Like father, like son
