My Own Path
Dad,
If I hadn't listened to my own sad song
Would we have even gotten along?
If I had gone my own way
Would you have been swayed?
If I had died that night
Would you still pick a fight?
If I had not cried those tears
Would you still be feared?
If I had the strength of an army tank
Would you watch me if I sank?
If I had been a boy, the one you hoped for
Would you have been happier therefore?
If I had the courage to tell you I was in pain
Would you still see it as "no pain no gain"?
If I hadn't be disobedient
Would you have been more lenient?
If I hadn't turned out the way I did
Would you still love me, the way I did?
