The Man I Used To Be Lyrics - Bellybutton - Jellyfish

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 mantelpiece 

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 a shit when a family is lost at sea 

Into battle and in your shadow 

Your daddy loves you still, yes he does, yes he does 

Into battle and in your shadow 

Your daddy loves you still, yes he does, yeah, yes he does 

I save every moment I've reached out and almost touched you 

But they all fade away, must be a bad memory 

Into battle and in your shadow 

Your daddy loves you still, yes he does, yes he does 

Into battle and in your shadow 

Your daddy loves you still, yes he does, yeah, yes he does, yes he does
