Oh, father

It's funny, that way, you can get used to the tears and the pain
What a child will believe, you never loved me

You can't hurt me now
I got away from you,
I never thought i would
You can't make me cry
You once had the power
I never felt so good about myself

Seems like yesturday, i laid next to your boots and i prayed
For your anger to end, oh father i have sinned

You can't hurt me now
I got away from you,
I never thought i would

You can't make me cry
You once had the power
I never felt so good about myself


Oh, father you never wanted to live that way
You never wanted to hurt me, why am i running away?
(repeat)

Maybe someday, when i look back i'll be able to say
you didn't mean to be cruel, somebody hurt too

You can't hurt me now
I got away from you,
I never thought i would
You can't make me cry
You once had the power
I never felt so good
(repeat) about myself
