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
