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 had the power

I never felt so good 'bout 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 'bout 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 'bout myself

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 'bout myself
