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 about myself
