Dad I'm sorry I gotta come clean
I've let you down shattered your dream
Promises made but I break 'em apart
I wear this mask but it's tearing my heart
One side of me's a shining star
Driven and focused gonna go far
But the other's lazy unreliable
Leaves me feeling like I'm unlivable
I'm a contradiction torn in two
One side's faithful one's untrue
Dad I know I've let you down
But I swear I'll turn it around
You raised me right taught me well
But sometimes I stumble sometimes I fell
I see the disappointment in your eyes
It cuts me deep like a million knives
I wanna be the son you're proud of
Not the one who always falls short of
But this battle inside it rages on
Between the right and the wrong
I'm a contradiction torn in two
One side's faithful one's untrue
Dad I know I've let you down
But I swear I'll turn it around
I'm fighting demons you can't see
Struggling to be who you want me to be
But I won't give up I'll keep the fight
For you Dad I'll make it right
So here's my promise straight from my soul
I'll mend the pieces make myself whole
I'll silence the lazy unreliable voice
And let the driven one rejoice
Dad I'm sorry I gotta come clean
I've let you down shattered your dream
Promises made but I break 'em apart
I wear this mask but it's tearing my heart
One side of me's a shining star
Driven and focused gonna go far
But the other's lazy unreliable
Leaves me feeling like I'm unlivable
I'm a contradiction torn in two
But with your love I'll see it through
Dad I know I've let you down
But I swear I'll turn it around
I'm fighting demons you can't see
Struggling to be who you want me to be
But I won't give up I'll keep the fight
For you Dad I'll make it right
So here's my promise
