Gimme a book and pen
So I can tell you my story
I sure know where to begin
Or are you in a hurry
My whole life was uphill
Coming from a poor household
You had to go against your will
While you acted all bold
See my daddy was a drunk too
I hated all the things he did
In my heart I always knew
That things would always be bad
I encountered many problems
And I'm unable to face them
I just can't face all the shame
Saying I would never be like him
Today I am what I don't wanna be
I get drunk so I wouldn't see
When I see my sober reflection
I see pain, suffering and rejection
Guess you can run anywhere
But you can't run away from you
After while you don't really care
How other people look at you
