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 yesterday I lay down 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? Oh father, you never wanted to live that way You never wanted to hurt me Why am I running away? Maybe someday When I look back I'll be able to say You didn't mean to be cruel Somebody hurt you 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 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 'bout myself
