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

Seemed 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

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
