How did you live like that?
Father, now I finally realize.
(Verse 1)
He's only been looking forward in his life.
Now that the kids have already grown they won't even listen to him.
All his life he sacrificed his best days for his wife and the kids.
Trying to make just a bit more money, looking at the kids' photo.
Swallowing tears, risking his life, he gets back up even when he's exhausted.
What if I pass out?
"Kids, don't worry, your father's a Superman"
Can't do anything when pressed down from above.
Can't avoid when struck from below.
Scary, this world, want to run away.
Shit, I still endure.
I still live on for the oblivious, happy kids snuggling in my arms everyday.
Tired but will still go to work. "Honey, kids, your daddy's going to work."
(Chorus)
Father, now I finally realize,
How did you live like that?
Don't be lonely anymore.
From now on we'll go together.
(Verse 2)
There's only one thing I want from the kids who are already going to schools.
Be an honest, healthy, nice kid. An upright person.
I'll be a better father than others.
Outside of schools, gotta send them to academies, get them private tutors to compete with other fathers, gotta do everything for them.
Which means I need to make more money. "You guys, be good to your father"
Kids make friends, talk about stuffs, see things, listen to people, compare with other fathers who do more for the kids.
Compare me to other fathers who buy them nicer things.
I go, for the kids who only get more spoiled and my wife who only ask for more.
"Honey, kids, your daddy's going to work."
(Chorus)
Father, now I finally realize,
How did you live like that?
Don't be lonely anymore.
From now on we'll go together.
(Bridge)
"Honey, it has already been so long.
Older one is working, younger one is in college.
Now I want to be with my family
but it's hard to say so because I'm the father.
Have tears in my eyes for the time has passed by so fast
and the kids look busy, my gosh, I'll just go for a walk.
Would you please come with me?"
(Chorus)
Father, now I finally realize,
How did you live like that?
Don't be lonely anymore.
From now on we'll go together.
