My head was all over the place I felt like a failure I wanted to provide for my family But I wasn't able to contribute I wasn't bringing in any money The business was failing The bailiff was banging on the door My dad was at breaking point He had put everything into the shop But the rug was about to be pulled from under us We were fighting to stay alive And I knew it was time to abandon ship But I had to stay and fight And I felt like a failure Because I could do nothing Just watch this ship go downWading knee seep Watching everything fall apart And you were the strong one I left you to pay the bills You were paying the mortgage and the council tax You were paying the utility bills and paying for the food I know it mist have looked as if I didn't careI never wanted to go anywhere But it was only because. I knew that I couldn't pay And I felt like a failure Because I wanted to take you places And I know I seemed not to care When all I wanted to do in bed was go to sleep But all of the time my mind was in turmoil Worrying about the future But I didn't dare talk to you about it So I kept it all bottled up inside Bottled up tight I regret that now And I regret that I didn't talk to you I felt like a failure Because I was brought up to believe That a man should provide for his family And I wasn't able to provide for mine
