We never got along, it was always war
Every single talk just turned into more
You raised your voice, I did the same
In this house nobody ever took the blame

We lived in the same place but felt so far
Like two broken people stuck behind a bar
No real connection, no way to repair
Just anger and silence hanging in the air

But now I understand why it’s like this
Why we became enemies,
Why nothing between us ever felt right
Now I understand it tonight

So I could become a man, to win on my way
To stand on my feet and not walk away
To break every chain that life put on me
And finally live like I’m meant to be

You never said you were proud of me at all
I stopped expecting anything after each call
Everything I did was never enough
With you even love always felt too rough

I stopped talking first, I stopped trying too
Because every conversation ended like we always knew
Silence became easier than another fight
So I learned to stay away and disappear from sight

But now I understand why it’s like this
Why we became enemies,
Why nothing between us ever felt right
Now I understand it tonight

So I could become a man, to win on my way
To stand on my feet and not walk away
To break every chain that life put on me
And finally live like I’m meant to be

We never fixed a single thing we broke
No final words, no healing spoke
Just years of distance, cold and long
Two people proving each other wrong

But now I understand why it’s like this
No peace between us, only conflict
It wasn’t love, it wasn’t hate
Just two people trapped in the same fate

So I could become a man, to win on my way
To stand on my feet and not walk away
To break every chain that life put on me
And finally live like I’m meant to be
