I don't think you'll ever step back    Father's devotion unbroken   The pattern laid out      Let him face the consequences    You brought yourself to stand   To answer to what we've chosen      All the same, love   This would be so much easier   If you'd let go of full control      You just hold on   And let him face this on his own   Give up your need,    Your need for control      Too afraid to watch him fall   For his choices   I feel heartless   'Cause he's breaking down our family   And how can you sit there silently?   I'm holding up now to intervine   So listen to me      Oh, this would be so much easier   If you lose your need for control   You just hold on    And let him face this on his own      Give up your need, your need for control      And it's all in the blood   Let him face this on his own   For the one that you love   It might be setting you back      Oh, this would be so much easier   If you give up your,   Your need for control      You're just prolonging    Past mistakes      Let him face this on his own   Give up your need,    Your need for control
