VERY ROUGH DRAFT -- still in the works. Tom's 2min Rift expanded... A SONG FOR THE PARENTS TO THE TERRIBLE TEENS!!!
Story behind the song
Final fight I had with my son... I won't have them anymore...
Lyrics
You say we don't understand where you've been,
or what you're going through
Do you honestly think that your friends,
will be there when you need them to
I have held you in my arms
Since the day you were born
Now I know the time has come to move on
Spare the rod and spoil the child
is where we both went wrong
So I'm taking back what I started
and I'm only giving you my love
I walk away, heavy-hearted, tears in my eyes
I trust someday, you will understand why
Tough Love
You better hold on to your heart
Tough Love
It's a battle that can never be won
I'm tired of fighting, tired of Crying
You have won the war
You've made it clear you don't want me around no more
You think you know everything
You don't even have a clue
That chip on your shoulder is big enough
It will get the best of you
You've slammed the door against my face
Just one too many times
and I'm sick and tired of hearing your lies
CHORUS
I'm tired of fighting, tired of Trying
CHORUS
I hope someday you will see
The value of a family (may change to "We are still your family")
Until then, I have given in to your
alienation of me
Cuz I'm tired of talking, while you sit watching, never saying a word
You hold it all inside, until you exploode
CHORUS
Tired of fighting, tired of Crying
CHORUS
(SOLO)
A battle of hearts can never be won
It's not a question who's right or wrong
So I give to you, what you've been wanting me to, for so looong...
your own life
