Lyrics

Father's Eyes

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I could paint a picture of my heart

Hang it on a wall

And watch the colours fade away

Tell the world

That we have been a lie

All this time we've spent

I could tell myself

That I have done

All that I could do

If that would take the pain away

Tell the world we lost it

Baby I'm not done here yet

I know that people think

Our love is like a fantasy

I know that no one seems to understand

What I see, but I

I see with my father's eyes

I see with my father's eyes

You were like a fire and I've tried

Risking all I am

To let you go and kill the flames

Oh, a heart can burn so many times

I am proof of that

And I could paint a picture of your heart

Hang it on a wall

And I would never walk away

I would stand there asking myself

Why I'm not broken yet

I know that people think

Our love is like a fantasy

I know that no one seems to understand

What I see, but I

I see with my fathers eyes

I see with my fathers eyes

I know that everybody says

You've not been good to me

They just don't realize

I'm nothing if I set you free

I see with my father's eyes

I see with my father's eyes

Oh, I have my humanity

And I know why lost in my sanity

Cause I think that I could learn to fly

I see it in my fathers eyes

Oh, I have my humanity

And I know why lost in my sanity

Cause I think that I could learn to fly

I see it in my fathers eyes

I know that people think

Our love is like a fantasy

I know that no one seems to understand

What I see, but I

I see with my fathers eyes

I see with my fathers eyes

I know that everybody says

You've not been good to me

They just don't realize

I'm nothing if I set you free

I see with my father's eyes

I see with my father's eyes

I see with my father's eyes

I see with my father's eyes

I see with my father's eyes
