Father of Mine Lyrics

I should let it go and press reset
I'm still trying to get wise to your games
I should have gotten wise by now
I was so wrong I should be buried
Beneath some large body of water
Bury the hatchet and burn the bridges
Harboring an old grudge so gangrene
Let bygones be bygones but I can't let up
'92, we came home from the comic book store
You asked me to make a first-grade decision
I chose the cartoons and you walked out
While I clung to the towel in the first floor bathroom
Cure me with false witness
That's the funny thing about regret
Your anchor I would never amputate
I still sleep with gritted teeth
I wish I could let it go and press reset
I still haven't let go of that cloth

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
