The Good Son - Simon Collins

Now we live in two worlds apart

But I had to find my way

No matter how long or far

Where I’m loved is where I’ll stay

I found a way to heal my heart

The time and space to understand

The line was deep I had to draw

I couldn’t live my life in mother’s hands

How else can I tell you to let me be Just save yourself, and don’t you try to rescue me I was the good son

You told me I couldn’t trust anyone

I was the blind one

To all you did and said that was so wrong

I was the good son

Why did you lay your weight on me for so long?

You kept me weak not strong

You wanted a good son, well I was the good son

All the shame that can’t be seen

With all the fire inside me Undermined, defied my dreams

Now your acts of love won’t set me fee

Every lover in your eyes

Ends up using me in time

My father figure’s lost in lies

You cast your shadow to never let us shine

So how do I show you all the past mistakes

They make you seem

Impossible to trust, impossible to love

I was the good son

You told me I couldn’t trust anyone

I was the blind one

To all you did and said that was so wrong

I was the good son

Why did you lay your weight on me for so long?

You kept me weak not strong

You wanted a good son, well I was the good son
