Who is this visionI have inside my headthe one I fell in love withthe one I called my friend?I don't know you anymoremy vision blurred by the liesI swear i thought you were the onebut you just ignored me when I cried.You are not a manand I intend to take the pride you haveyou are not a manI no longer need to hold your hand.I never did you wronggave up everything for youI lied to the ones closest to meto find out the promises you made weren't true.I have to admityou put on a good showalot of people looked up to youbut soon the truth everyone will know.you are not a manit's a shame it took this long to realizeyou are not a manyou can no longer hide behind the lies.I gave you a titleyou did not deserveI called you my angelbut no apologies I've heard.this proves your a cowardproves your merely a childI guess my eyes were never openor maybe it was just denile.Because you were never a manI should have realized it from the startyou are not a manI never should have given you my heart.Because you are not a manthis is the verdict to which I've comeyou are not a manproving that by ignoring your son.
