Oh Father lyrics

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, if you never wanted to live that way

If 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
