Daddy's Eyes

[Verse 1]

Oh, for sixteen years it was me and my mum

Pickin' 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 nothin' but strangers

Now you're standin' 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 missin'

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 nothin' but strangers

Now you're standin' 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 (With my daddy's eyes, with my daddy's eyes)

Turn up after all these years just to say goodbye (Just to say goodbye), oh no

All the birthdays are the worst days

Every Christmas you were missin'

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 learnin' to make it

Livin' is better without you

Bryan, Magdaline, Chloe, Hillary

Don't have to feel the way I do

Now that I'm eighteen, I'm learnin' to make it

Livin' is better without you, without you

[Chorus]

I don't wanna cry these tears with my daddy's eyes (With my daddy's eyes, with my daddy's eyes)

Turn up after all these years just to say goodbye (Just to say goodbye), oh no

All the birthdays are the worst days

Every Christmas you were missin'

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
