Jellyfish - The Man I Used To Be

I hope you remember me, I was your daddy once,
Wearing a sailor cap and dirty nails
To you I'm just a picture on your mother's mantlepiece
who chose to fight the good fight in time to fail

into battle
and in your shadow
your daddy loves you still

yes i do

I never thought it'd be so hard to see you grow so fast
and turn into the man I used to be
but I hope you have more sense than I in matters such as these
medals don't mean shit when a family is lost at sea

I save every moment I've reached out and almost touched you
but they all fade away must be a bad memory
