too late lyrics

The young boy has turned into a man
And he's growing stronger
He's battled through things he thought he could
Go on no longer

Father stood by his side wanting nothing more
Than just be his dad
But pride only answers to one call
He only condemns him

And if the boy only knew the father's pain
The nights that he stayed up late wondered why
Doesn't he see the future is so bleak, so bleak

Father's retired now, he's left with a TV and rest
The weight of the world and what did he do wrong
Has gone to his chest

He had such a good life
With the family he loved were all at his side
To his son he whispered, goddamn this pride

And if the boy only knew the father's pain
The nights that he stayed up late, wondered why
The choice that he made
Doesn't he see the future is so bleak, so bleak

So fuck I'm all by myself, now you've gone away
You've left me up all by myself
With that fucked up thing you said

If I could forgive myself, you knew the way
Now I'm all by myself, well, I'm sorry

But if you only knew your son's pain
How bad that he wanted you to say
You're doing just fine

You turned out to be one good guy
But it's too late
