father lyrics

Can't stand the light, it hurts my eyes
And it comes as no surprise to find
A broken heart has no reprieve
In all the things we leave behind

I won't forsake you
Don't wanna break you
Don't wanna make you
Make you cry

I can remember, can recall
When once we had it all before
Can't stand up for falling down
When you're not around and no more

I won't forsake you
Don't wanna break you
Don't wanna make you
Make you cry

And time may heal
The pain we feel
But there's nothing real
In this goodbye

It's easy to be kind, kind to strangers
Whilst we hurt the ones we love
And all I've ever wanted
Is just to be a father to a child

I won't forsake you
Don't wanna break you
Don't wanna make you
Make you, make you cry

And time may heal
The pain we feel
But there's nothing real
In this goodbye, goodbye
