It’s about following your dream even when it means to have disagreements with the ones you love. Specifically, this is more like a busker’s song, because it’s inspired from my own mixed experiences and feelings about those bad busking days, when everything seems to be going wrong, you are tired of playing the same old cover songs, wishing to leave them behind and play your own music. It’s about living alone, travelling, missing your loved ones and never knowing where your path is going to lead…
lyrics
I kept telling to myself there's nothing I can't be
Like the weather, always changing, I followed my dreams
And I walked away from things that others hoped I would become
You saw me there for a brief moment, the second I was gone
Gone away
Forgive me,
I'm not the son you want me to be
Forgive me, my friend,
We've grown apart
We're strangers to our own heart
I went roaming through the world, searching for myself
Fear was growing up inside me, like bricks that build a wall
The journey's long, my hands are crooked, strumming the same songs
I'm all alone, on the cobbled stone some shiny pennies roll
Roll away
Forgive me,
I'm not the son you want me to be
Forgive me, my friend,
We've grown apart
We're strangers to our own heart
There's no ending to my story, just feelings left untold
Wait for me, don't lose your patience, one day I'll be home
But the journey's long, my hands are crooked, strumming the same songs
I'm all alone, on the cobbled stone some shiny pennies roll,
Roll away
Forgive me,
I'm not the son you want me to be
Forgive me, my friend,
We've grown apart
We're strangers to our own heart
