Lyrics

THE SCORE

V1:
I GOT USED TO YOUR TEASING THOUGH IT MADE ME FEEL THE FOOL
I GOT USED TO THE CONSTANT, GRATING RIDICULE

V2:
BUT EVERY CUT WAS A CANCER THAT GREW UP DEEP INSIDE
I WANTED TO BURN IT OUT GOD KNOWS I TRIED

CH:
SO THAT’S THE SCORE, IT’S THAT AND MORE
THERE ARE SOME THINGS IN LIFE WE CAN’T IGNORE
THAT’S THE SCORE, IT’S THAT AND MORE
FATHERS AND SONS, WHAT CAN I SAY THAT HASN’T BEEN SAID BEFORE?

V3:
SHE TOLD YOU I’D LEARN TO HATE YOU IF YOU NEVER CHANGED YOUR WAYS
BUT YOU NEVER DID AND NEITHER DID I AND ANYWAY
ANESTHETIZED BY BOREDOM, IT WAS MY ADOLESCENT DRUG OF CHOICE
STILL, I COULD NOT SCREEN OUT YOUR QUIET VOICE

CH:
SO THAT’S THE SCORE, IT’S THAT AND MORE
THERE ARE SOME THINGS IN LIFE WE CAN’T IGNORE
THAT’S THE SCORE, IT’S THAT AND MORE
FATHERS AND SONS, WHAT CAN I SAY THAT HASN’T BEEN SAID BEFORE?

BRIDGE:
THAT CYNICAL SARCASM, THE DARK CORNERS OF YOUR SMILE
I’M IN YOUR SHOES NOW I’VE WALKED YOUR COUNTRY MILES
NOW THAT YOU’RE GONE, WHAT A COMPLICATED MAN YOU ARE
SOME HOW I CAN’T HELP BUT THINK WE BOTH GOT BURNED

CH:
THAT’S THE SCORE, IT'S THAT AND MORE
THERE ARE SOME THINGS IN LIFE WE MUST IGNORE,
YEAH THAT’S THE SCORE, IT’S THAT AND MORE
I LOVE YOU DAD, WE'RE JUST DIFFERENT PEOPLE
THAT’S THE SCORE, IT'S THAT AND MORE
FATHERS AND SONS, WHAT CAN I SAY THAT HASN’T BEEN SAID BEFORE?
FATHERS AND SONS, WHAT CAN I SAY THAT HASN’T BEEN SAID BEFORE?
