I was only five when my father died
And I feel like a part of me with him lies
With a drink in his hand, he bid the world farewell
Such a waste of a life on just a little thrill

In my younger days
I never could find a light to guide my way
Now I know I was only hiding
In the shadow of his vast mistakes

But the blood that filled his veins flows through mine
It's not that I'm ashamed
But how can I redefine how your story ends
How your story ends

I always thought that you'd be there
Through the ups and downs but then you were gone
I never found a place to go where I'd belong
But it's alright since it made me strong

The blood that filled his veins flows through mine
I'll take all the pain and turn it into something divine
