Rewind back to then, see I was just a kid.
And I didn't know, oh mother, where did he go?
And that solemn look she gave, oh God that image stayed
The pain alive despite disguise
Through her trembling lips and bloodshot eyes

Paralyzed for a moment
Bet you're life you wouldn't stay
Better hope we don't cross paths
Cause there'll be hell to pay
I am better without you
You couldn't love what you would undo

I'm a man today, no thanks to you
All the feeling of regret
I hope you know what you left.
I'll never miss you
See me, yeah I'm upset.
And my brothers wont forget

Introduced for the first time at 8 years old to a world so cold.
A cowards claim to fame, all for his selfish gain.
But his failed attempts to break our home
Made us stronger than we'll ever know
Paralyzed for a moment, bet you're life you wouldn't stay.
Better hope we don't cross paths, cause there'll be hell to pay.

I know I never say it enough, what you did
For both of us. You kept me strong
Its hard enough to see the road that leads us home
Its hard enough to walk when we
Cant bear the load, that's on our shoulders

And when the day tries to break away
Its hold on our soul, don't let go
First time, through a broken life
Seconds tick, running out of time
Where were you when I needed you?
You said you'd be there for me through and through
You said you'd be there for me

Paralyzed for a moment
Bet you're life you wouldn't stay
Better hope we don't cross paths
Cause there'll be hell to pay
There'll be hell to pay
I'm a man today, no thanks to you
There'll be hell to pay
