lyrics

I’ve to admit it took me so long
That I could have written about a thousand songs
Though I made myself on my own
I was this close to let you once again put me down

Now I put one foot in front of the other
I'm done replacing your mistakes with some bigger
Walking is not something you taught me
Now watch my back while I sing

[Chorus :] I did not suffer to grow up without a paternal figure around
Yes it's weighing on me but you got it wrong
I never needed your help to teach me how to be strong
I’ve got a father for this and I call her Mom

I never really understood
The fascination that people have for you
I ended getting sick of your excuses
Speak as much as you want I’m now too far to hear

Now I put one foot in front of the other
To keep my head up I learned it from my mother
She made me keep my feet on the ground
While helping me touch the clouds

[Chorus]
[Solo]
[Chorus]

I did not suffer to grow up and to shape my way alone
Now it’s time to accept that I’m doing well
I never needed your help I could count on my Mom
