Like Father

[Verse 1]

I'm proud of you and I hope you're proud of me too

I don't hate all your masculinity, just the parts that might make you ashamed of me

And I know it's not all your fault

I made mistakes and I'm sure that you do too

[Chorus]

And I appreciate all your hard work

And I respect the fact that you put us first

And I wish you asked me more questions

And I wish you answered more of mine

[Verse 2]

And you are stubborn and you are silent

And I am stubborn but I'm not quiet

And I'm my mother and we both know it

Still angry but learning to control it

[Chorus]

And I am privileged enough to hide it

And I'm sorry for all the times I lied

'Cause I'm still learning how to tell the truth

'Cause the truth is tricky for people like me and you

[Verse 3]

I don't think you meant to cause anyone pain

We're just trying to figure out what our truth means

'Cause I can see that you're trying, and I'm trying too

And maybe one day I'll be more like you

[Outro]

I hope that one day I'll be more like you

'Cause I'm proud of you and I hope you're proud of me too
