He wonders why he made those choices
I guess he made them all for you
Got something that he wants to tell you
Got something that you should know
Everyone is laughing at you
They all laugh behind your back
They talk about you when you were different
They talk about when you fell off track
These fathers don't know the difference
They just see their sons and smile
Even though he is burning all his bridges
These things just take a while
He looks back for the last time then leaves
But we all know he'll be back

A toast to broken glass
Treading bloody feet
An oath that never lasts
His father sheds a tear

Through the desert marching slowly
Walking towards the green
In a forest so damp and withered
Where nothing is what it seems
In the mountains way beyond him
He sees his father's face in rocks
He's gotta get there, gotta keep going
But now his smile drops
He's gone back to where he started
Gone back to hell knows where
Finds some water in a bottle, can't open
This thirst is his despair
Falls to his knees and crying
Crying won't get you anywhere
A toast to broken glass
Treading bloody feet
An oath that never lasts
His father sheds a tear
I still love you, yes I still love you
A toast to broken glass
A toast to broken glass

I still believe in you and I forgive you, father's son
I still have faith in you but now I have to walk away
This virgin whore is silver
A silver gun loaded at your head
His friends all turn away from him
They told him he'd be better off dead

A toast to broken glass
Treading bloody feet
An oath that never lasts
His father sheds a tear
I still love you, yes I still love you
A toast to broken glass
A toast to broken glass

I still believe in you and I forgive you, father's son
I still have faith in you but now I have to walk away
