《I’m Not My Father’s Son》歌词

[00:00:00] I’m Not My Father’s Son - Billy Porter

[00:00:08] Composer：Cyndi Laupe

[00:00:16] When I was just a kid

[00:00:24] Everything I did was to be like him

[00:00:35] Under my skin

[00:00:43] My father always thought

[00:00:50] If I was strong and fought

[00:00:57] Not like some albatross I'd begin

[00:01:09] To fit in

[00:01:19] Look at me powerless and holding my breath

[00:01:25] Trying hard to repress what scared him to death

[00:01:32] It was never easy to be his type of man

[00:01:39] To breathe freely was not in his plan

[00:01:46] And the best part of me

[00:01:52] Is what he wouldn't see

[00:01:59] I'm not my father's son

[00:02:06] I'm not the image of what he dreamed of

[00:02:13] With the strength of Sparta and the patience of Job

[00:02:20] Still couldn't be the one

[00:02:27] To echo what he'd done

[00:02:34] And mirror what was not in me

[00:02:45] So I jumped in my dreams and found an escape

[00:02:51] Maybe I went to extremes of leather and lace

[00:02:58] But the world seemed brighter six inches off the ground

[00:03:05] And the air seemed lighter

[00:03:09] I was profound and I felt so proud

[00:03:19] Just to live out loud

[00:03:25] I'm not my father's son no

[00:03:32] I'm not the image of what he dreamed of

[00:03:39] With the strength of Sparta and the patience of Job

[00:03:46] Still couldn't be the one

[00:03:53] To echo what he'd done

[00:04:00] And mirror what was not in me

[00:04:09] Oh

[00:04:12] The endless story of expectations swirling

[00:04:19] Inside my mind

[00:04:23] Wore me down

[00:04:26] I came to a realization and I finally turned around

[00:04:36] To see

[00:04:46] That I could just be me

[00:05:01] I'm not my father's son

[00:05:08] I'm not the image of what he dreamed of

[00:05:15] With the strength of Sparta and the patience of Job

[00:05:23] Still couldn't be the one

[00:05:30] To echo what he'd done

[00:05:37] And mirror what was not in me

[00:05:53] Oh

[00:05:59] Hm
