Her Father's Song

(album: Dear Diary - 2009)

I saw the rain fall down today,
Watch lightning crash through skies of grey,
Why can't life just be polite, and wait...

I saw the lights outside your house,
Red lights cut like nothing else,
The scene of a silent cry for help

How are we supposed to do this?
If everyone we love, still lets us down,
If you're there, can you hear me now?

No matter how hard I try,
Can't get you out of my mind,
Wish I could be there to help you say goodbye
Don't hold it inside, 'cause what's left can be right,
What's left can be right

I saw the sky go black today,
I felt your tears, and ached your pain,
It's hard to tell how much this changed,
How you see everything
And all I can do is pray,
That you don't take the blame,
'Cause it's not your fault, that it happened this way,
Happened this way

How are we supposed to do this?
If everyone we love, still lets us down,
If you're there, can you hear me now?

No matter how hard I try,
Can't get you out of my mind,
Wish I could be there to help you say goodbye
Don't hold it inside, 'cause what's left can be right,
What's left can be right
