My Story - Like Sons

Son, let me share a story

from when I was young

I was searching and hoping for my true love

And that’s when I met this girl

And I thought she was the one

'Till things changed and we went separate ways

And I was left alone

It’ll happen and it’ll hurt

When she breaks your heart

She’ll be fine and you’ll wonder why

You were never enough

But it’s not your fault

You didn’t get to choose

Sometimes when you take a chance

You lose

Son, let me share a story

from when I was young

My life was dull and boring

I had given up

I had a plan

That no one could change

Till I met your mother

And she said to me

«Well, did it happen

And did it hurt

When she broke your heart?

Was she fine and did you wonder why

You were never enough?

But it’s not your fault

You didn’t get to choose

Sometimes when you take a chance

You lose.»

So, son, tell me a story

When you grow old

About your guts and glory

And the world you sold

For the love of your life

And the source of your pride

Tell me it was worth it

And she’s still by your side.
