Parts Of You

[Intro]        [Verse 1] This one here’s for my old man Who taught me to be patient and want more than I have So many lessons he has shown In life you eat the chicken and you throw away The bones.                  [Verse 2] We’re more alike than he can see And though at times he broke my heart we shared a lot of things That help me feel much less alone. Especially when I fall apart I know I’m still My fathers son                           My fathers son.                           [Chorus] And I know that sometimes I’m hard to love     And as I grow into a man I’m sure that I am not enough. But even when I let you down i hope that i can help you see The parts of you are parts of me. [Verse 3] Do you remember singing songs On a car ride off to nowhere it was just the three of us. You called us both your favorite son And even after all these years those days still live Inside my heart                         Inside my heart.                         [Chorus] And I know that sometimes I’m hard to love     And as I grow into a man I’m sure that I am not enough. But even when I let you down i hope that i can help you see The parts of you are parts of me.          [Bridge]   And I remember staring up at you when I was 9 years old And you looked 10 feet tall.   And I was hoping maybe I’d grow up to be the kinda man That you’d be proud to know. [Verse 4] I hope by now you understand Although I’m never perfect i give everything i can. And as the light begins to fade I’d like to tell you one more time just how much that You mean to me                            You mean to me.                            [Chorus] And I know that sometimes I’m hard to love     And as I grow into a man I’m sure that I am not enough. But even when I let you down i hope that i can help you see The parts of you are the best parts of me.
