You taught me how to live and play be all of your rules

and I made your same mistakes, seems like we've both turned out to be fools

But I won't let you let me down, cause I'm not falling

So close but so far away, the memories are sure to always last

I wish you would've stayed, but fathers day for me is in the past

I won't let you let me down, rise above what you teach

I won't let you let me down, rise above mediocrity
