Father’s Eyes

You tried to control everything, you tried to live through me
You tied my hands with your condescension
I was always walking on glass, you kept me locked in the past
Everything I did was to get your attention

I'll always let you down, yeah, but I don't care, you'll never understand
I wasted all the time in the world in your eyes
(Father's eyes)

You twist my thoughts with your ways, you let my feelings decay
And now I'm afraid of the world around me
Don't let me think for myself, you wish I was somebody else
Everything I did was for you, what about me?

I'll always let you down, yeah, but I don't care, you'll never understand
I wasted all the time in the world in your eyes
You'll never understand, I'll withstand the pain inside
(Father's eyes)

All the things you broke, all the things you took away
All the things you lost, all the promises you made
Never giving in, always feeling betrayed
I won't let you get inside my head

I'll always let you down, yeah, but I don't care, you'll never understand
I wasted all the time in the world in your eyes
I'll always let you down, yeah, but I don't care, you'll never understand
I wasted all the time in the world in your eyes
(Father's eyes)
