Fathers Eyes

I could paint a picture of my heart

Hanging on a wall

And watch the colors 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 try, 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, hanging 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 when I

I see with my father's eyes

I see with my father's 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  I'm

Lost in my sanity 'cause I, think that I could learn to fly

I see it in 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 with my father's 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 father's eyes

I see with my father's 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 why, see with my father's eyes

Oh why, losing my sanity 'cause I

See with my father's eyes

I see with my father's eyes
