The World That I Wanted

歌詞

he's the kind of guy that was always afraid of affection and when the walls closed around he would always respond with aggression but he woke up today with a pain in his head remembered a dream oh what was it they said oh, this was the world that i wanted hey oh, this was the world that i wanted many years ago he was hungry for fathers attention but dad was alone his disease unspoken unmentioned so the boy grew tall with these things around his head and when he asked moms advice she silently said oh, your father got all that he wanted hey oh, your father got all that he wanted he steps onto the porch with a cigarette and a briefcase and remembering dad he prepares to argue his case old woman he says you should have left long ago your friends are all dead its not worth it you know and she smiles, you know this was the life that i wanted and she smiles, you know this was the life that i wanted he never thought that he'd cry when his father was finally laid down never thought that he'd cry when his friends were all gathered around but he watched as the old man lay down in the earth and he looked all around for a sign of his worth then he cried, whoa daddy what was it you wanted then he cried, whoa daddy what was it you wanted
