Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh, for sixteen years, it was me and my mum
Picking me up when I cried
And it hurts like hell every day that you're gone
Another part of me dies
[PreChorus]
Yesterday, we were nothing but strangers
Now you're standing there at the door
How I hate that I look like your daughter
Can't look in the mirror no more
[Chorus]
I don't wanna cry these tears with my daddy's eyes
Turn up after all these years just to say goodbye
Oh, no
All the birthdays are the worst days
Every Christmas, you were missing
All the nights you never sang me to sleep
I don't wanna cry these tears with my daddy's eyes
Not tonight, no, not tonight
[Verse 2]
How come every other kid had a father
Picking them up after school?
I got history that you weren't part of
Where the hell were you?
[PreChorus]
Yesterday, we were nothing but strangers
Now you're standing there at the door
How I hate that I look like your daughter
Can't look in the mirror no more
[Chorus]
I don't wanna cry these tears with my daddy's eyes
Turn up after all these years just to say goodbye
Oh, no
All the birthdays are the worst days
Every Christmas, you were missing
All the nights you never sang me to sleep
I don't wanna cry these tears with my daddy's eyes
Not tonight
[Bridge]
Now that I'm eighteen, I'm learning to make it
Living is better without you
Bryan, Magdaline, Chloe, Hillary
Don't have to feel the way I do
Now that I'm eighteen, I'm learning to make it
Like living is better without you, without you
[Chorus]
I don't wanna cry these tears with my daddy's eyes
Turn up after all these years just to say goodbye
Oh, no
All the birthdays are the worst days
Every Christmas, you were missing
All the nights you never sang me to sleep
I don't wanna cry these tears with my daddy's eyes
Not tonight, no, not tonight
