I lie awake in bed next to sobs and tears
As mother waits for father at the front door
I can hear your keys open locks and years
You started this family, then left it torn
Well our father-son blood ties
I would give them up if I had a choice
Brother and sister try to make you a dad
But we know we're just pictures in your wallet
As for you and I, our deepest bonds are dead
So go on with your life, I don't need your regret
Well our father-son blood ties
I would give them up if I had a choice
