Daddy's Eyes (Stripped Version)

[Verse 1] Oh for sixteen years it was me and my mum Picking me up when I cried And it hurts like hell every day that you’re gone Another part of me dies [Pre-Chorus] Yesterday we were nothing but strangers Now you’re standing there at the door How I hate that I look like your daughter Can’t look in the mirror no more [Chorus] I don’t wanna cry these tears with my daddy’s eyes Turn up after all these years just to say goodbye Oh no All the birthdays are the worst days Every Christmas you were missing All the nights you never sang me to sleep I don’t wanna cry these tears with my daddy’s eyes Not tonight, no not tonight [Verse 2] How come every other kid had a father Picking them up after school I got history that you weren’t part of Where the hell were you? [Pre-Chorus] Yesterday we were nothing but strangers And now you’re standing there at the door How I hate that I look like your daughter Can’t look in the mirror no more [Chorus] I don’t wanna cry these tears with my daddy’s eyes Turn up after all these years just to say goodbye Oh no All the birthdays are the worst days Every Christmas you were missing All the nights you never sang me to sleep I don’t wanna cry these tears with my daddy’s eyes Not tonight [Bridge] Now that I’m eighteen I’m learning to make it Living is better without you Bryan, Magdaline, Chloe, Hillary don’t have to feel the way I do Now that I’m eighteen I’m learning to make it Living is better without you, without you [Chorus] I don’t wanna cry these tears with my daddy’s eyes Turn up after all these years just to say goodbye Oh no All the birthdays are the worst days Every Christmas you were missing All the nights you never sang me to sleep I don’t wanna cry these tears with my daddy’s eyes Not tonight, no not tonight
