Oh Father

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 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 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

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 had the power
I never felt so good about myself

You can't hurt me now
I got away from you, I never thought I would
You can't hurt me now
I got away from you, I never thought I would
And you can't make me cry
You 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 had the power
I never felt so good about myself
