It's funny that way
You can get used
To the tears and the pain
What a child will believe
You never loved me

Chorus:
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

Chorus

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

Chorus x 2
