Now I face the questions I deal with every day
Has my life lost all its meaning?
Have I thrown hope away?
Have I blacked out the name my father gave to me?
Would he look at me with shame if he were here now to see?
Regret and nostalgia grip me by the soul
Memories and stories won't fill up the hole
I was left with and weighed down with when I was just a boy
Now I'm looking to the stars in pain and asking you why.
Was your example set in vain?
I never meant to cause you shame.
I never meant to do you no harm
And I'm feeling guilt so strong.
I question myself now did I do you wrong?
When I look into the mirror you're always there with me.
When I look into my heart I fear that I can't see
What you taught me. What you left me before you pa**ed away
It's like I've taken all you've set in hand and thrown it away
If I had another chance to do it all again then I'd tell you how I feel before it had to end
Then I'd take you by the hand and look you in the eye
And I'd tell you all the things I've done and explain to you why.
Was your example set in vain?
I never meant to cause you shame.
I never meant to do you no harm
And I'm feeling guilt so strong.
I question myself now did I do you wrong?
Life pa**es by.
What can we do?
Another day gone, a step closer to you.
I know that you're here when I look around.
Watching down upon me from a place up above.
Am I bringing shame down onto you?
Am I doing the things that you'd do?
Am I ignoring the things that you'd want?
Did I do you wrong?
