Lyrics

When I was a girl
I did my best to hide
We all had to run for cover
From my father and his drunken pride
He'd leave us alone
But never for too long
He'd beat up on my mother
And he'd tell us he'd be the only one
How could I learn to love
From somebody so abusive?
I pulled back and went away
To nurse my hearts bruises
Today I got the news
That his heart gave out
I know I'll never have another
But what father darkens his own house?
Well, I heard what they say
That family's not for choosing
Is closure real, will I find peace
Or is it just an illusion?
All I know is it's on me
'Cause there ain't no chance for any grief
You can't decide who lives or dies
No, you can't decide
It's a cold, cold, sword
It's a closing door
And what could have been
With time on my side?
It's a bright red sound
And try as I might
To shut it all out
Now I see this life is all mine
He always let me know
How I let him down
It's so painful to remember
But it's all the same 'cause he's not around
Well, I heard what they say
That family's not for choosing
Is closure real, should I find peace
Or is it just an illusion?
All I know is it's on me
'Cause there ain't no chance for a release
You can't decide who lives or dies
No, you can't decide
It's a cold, cold, sword
It's a closing door
And what could have been
With time on my side
It's a bright red sound
And try as I might
To shut it all out
Now I see this life is all mine
It's a cold, cold, sword
It's a closing door
What could have been
With time on my side?
It's a bright red sound
And try as I might
To shut it all out
Now I see this life is all mine
