You must promise you will    Never speak again of this to me    ‘Cause I could never look my son   In the eye and tell him    Just exactly what his daddy did   With the souls of all the broken ones   I could never understand exactly why   You had feelings for these   Worthless human flies   And when I looked into your eyes   I felt   I felt broken   Yes, it’s true   I wanted to be like you    And yes, I knew   I could never be like you    And I saw them kneeling there   To their God on his big throne   And I started to see you    Shying away from all the angels   It’ll never be the way it was again    You couldn’t see that I    Treated you just like a son   And if I held others just like you    It’s only because I    Created all men equal   I could never understand exactly why    You would spit into your loving father’s eyes   Oh my father how am I   Supposed to say I’m sorry?   Yes, it’s true   I wanted to be like you   And yes, I knew   I could never be like you   And I saw them kneeling there   To their God on his big throne   And I started to see you    Shying away from all the angels   I forgive you. Don’t you know?   I just don’t care   I could never be the one   Ever be your son   I could never be the father No   (I could never win)
