* Refrain courtesy “Love the way you lie” by Eminem and Skylar Grey

We are of different frame but we’re the same,
There’s no denial to it and you can’t forget it.
Born and adorned under my toxic influence.
You can’t try to change who you are,
Too many same mistakes that I’ve lost track.
You could try to deny this fact,

But your temper's just as bad as mine is,
you're the same as me.

Stubborn child, I hope that you know this,
Your temper is horrific and nothing near terrific.
Your short fuse is the reason why she’s no longer here
Even an amatuer would know how you lost her
Apologizing to her is but too late at this point
You can’t blame me for all your wrongdoings
You can’t blame me for having lost her
You can’t blame me for raising you this way

But your temper’s just as bad as mine is,
you’re the same as me.

No need to fear since father is here,
More than happy am I to lend a hand.
After you accept your fate of a short fuse,
How can I help when there’s so little trust,
Recognition is the first step to improvement.
If only you trust me to accept all this first.

But your temper’s just as bad as mine is,
you’re the same as me.
