I’ve stopped saying I love you back To the father I no longer cut slack For the birthdays missed And the time not spent For the nights not kissed And the love not lent This Apple rotted from the seed His love is something I don’t need But night after night And year after year I fight his daemons And face his fears The sins of the father Will be payed by the son So in the end No one’s won
