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
