I Bite

Why, father, why? Do you never cry? I don't want to fight But if I'm being honest My mistakes aren't being honored Why? Why? When I say love Is it different from What you're thinking of? Our great expectations Always lost in translation Why? Love is unconditional Under the right conditions You were always strong for me Even when I needed weakness When we fight I've learned all my life From the best No surprise Maybe I bite Father, now I understand Your sacrifice, your honor And I wanna thank you For lifting me up Up on your shoulders For me, you were king And it hasn't been easy But now I'm older And I'm a father I tell my son Love is unconditional Under the right conditions I'll always be strong for you Even when I show my weakness When we fight You'll learn all your life From the best, no surprise You bite --- I Bite - Young the Giant
