Dad (Turn Back Time)

I look at your photograph With edges burned, and lessons learned It's like I'm looking into a mirror And it couldn't be clearer

I'm your son The spitting image of a man Who got lost in this world With drink in hand And now you're gone All I have left are the remnants of the past I'll try my best to make them last

Dad, if you could see me now Would you be proud? If you were still alive Would you even try To make it out from that hell Try to revive your old self But now I know the gift of life I wish I could turn back time Turn back time, turn back time

You tried to teach me how to play guitar But I was 8, and I wasn't all that smart And to this day I haven't learned It makes me think of you, and that just breaks my heart

I'm your son The spitting image of a man Who got lost in this world With drink in hand And now you're gone All I have left are the remnants of the past I'm trying my best to make them last

Dad, if you could see me now Would you be proud? If you were still alive Would you even try To make it out from that hell Try to revive your old self But now I know the gift of life I wish I could turn back time Turn back time, turn back time Turn back time

I wanted you, I needed you Sprawled out on my bedroom floor Panicked, and searching for something more But you clung to your addictions Ran further away from your three sons I wish I knew the man who makes up half of who I am

Dad, if you could see me now Would you be proud? If you were still alive Would you even try To make it out from that hell Try to revive your old self But now I know the gift of life I wish I could turn back time Turn back time, turn back time

Dad, if you could see me now You would be so proud If you were still alive I would make you try To make it out from that hell You will revive your old self But now I know the gift of life I wish I could turn back time Turn back time, turn back time
