For You

I'm not the man that you think I am
But I am doing my best to become him

A broken past that I can't erase
In all this chaos, I found my place
I like to think that I'm your saving grace
But the truth is that you saved me
I wont let you take
My heart from my chest
Cause its all that I have left
I saw your face
And I took my first breath

I'm doing everything I can
To keep my head above water
I'm not the man you think I am
But I'm doing my best to become him

We build our home on unstable ground
A structure built out of promise
Bending and breaking at the slightest hint of stress

I'm sick of keeping score
And paying dues to that I can't afford
I'll never go back to where I've been
I swore I'd never be alone again

I'm doing everything I can
To keep my head above water
I'm not the man you think I am
But I'm doing my best to become him

You're all thats keeping this growing hole, from
Eating its way through my awful soul, and
I never meant to build a broken home out of
Arguments and broken bones

After all the things that i fucked up
You're the only thing that I'm proud of
You'll understand it when you're all grown up
You made me finally feel like i was good enough

You've rebuilt me a thousand times
Mended my frame and rebuilt my mind
Lost in my thoughts before, but now I'm found
The path you made, leading me out

I'm doing everything I can
To keep my head above water
Im not the man you think I am
But I'm doing my best to become him
