Lyrics:

If I were my father, I would've just stayed away
I would've burned all the evidence that I was ever there
I wouldn't have left a trace
I'd destroy the remains of the path that I paved
Wouldn't want my baby boy to follow after my name
That's not what he did
He'd come once a year
Take a picture on my birthday for proof
And then he'd disappear
Oh, that's not what he did
He just got me confused
'Cause now I knew that I had a dad that
Wouldn't do what other dads do, woah

I ain't my father, but what if I have a son?
Maybe I'm afraid I'll run away the day that he comes
He'll grow not knowing if I'm coming back
When he hits rock bottom, he'll just turn to the glass
That's not what I'd do
I'll be there from the jump
Pouring out all I am just to fill up his cup
Yeah, father, son
I'll be his proof
That you can do anything you want
And I know I do what dads are supposed to do
Woah, woah

If I were my father, I would've just stayed away
