You know, It's been too long
I almost forgot
How's the wife and the kids and the job?

Oh wait
You don't have them anymore

Well, I've been looking for about twelve years
Tryna find a good reason not to hate and just feel
Where it all went wrong
Where it all went wrong
You've got some nerve

And now the past is gone
There's no need to try
You found yourself a new life with a new wife
Yeah, that's okay
Cause we don't need you anymore

It was all back then when you said
"I've never really been your dad but I can sure be a friend"
And that's where it all went wrong
That's where it all went wrong
And you just got worse

Give us up for more
(You never tried)
Give us up and try again with her

Give us up for more
(Make up your mind)
Make them see you're more than what you were

So now it's down the road
And now I'm grown, I've got a wife and a child of my own
And that's how it's gonna stay
It seems to work out better that way

And so, I'll take what you've shown
I'll take some time, plant a seed of my own
And my son will never know you
It's something he won't have to go through

Give us up for more
(You never tried)
Give us up and try again with her

Give us up for more
(Make up your mind)
Make them see you're more than what you were

And now you've got a life again
We're so proud you've made your choice

Take these chains
Your guilt, your shame
No longer haunt this place
We've all moved on

Take these chains
Your guilt, your shame
No longer haunt this place
We've all moved on
