Lyrics

[Verse 1]

It's funny that way

You can get used to the tears and the pain

What a child will believe

You never loved me

[Verse 2]

You can't hurt me now

I got away from you

I never thought I would

You can't make me cry

You had the power

I never felt so good 'bout myself

[Verse 3]

Seems like yesterday

I laid down next to your boots and I prayed

For your anger to end

Oh Father, I have sinned

[Verse 4]

You can't hurt me now

I got away from you

I never thought I would

You can't make me cry

You had the power

I never felt good 'bout myself

[Verse 5]

Oh Father

You never wanted to live that way

You never wanted to hurt me

Why am I runnin' away?

Oh Father

You never wanted to live that way

You never wanted to hurt me

Why am I runnin' away?

Oh Father

You never wanted to live that way

You never wanted to hurt me

Why am I runnin' away?

[Verse 6]

Maybe someday

When I look, back I'll be able to say

You didn't mean to be cruel

Somebody hurt you too

[Verse 7]

You can't hurt me now

I got away from you

I never thought I would

You can't make me cry

You had the power

I never felt so good 'bout myself

You can't hurt me now

I got away from you

I never thought I would

You can't hurt me now

I got away from you

I never thought I would

And you can't make me cry

You had the power

I never felt

You can't hurt me now

I got away from you

I never thought I would

You can't make me cry

You had the power

I never felt so good 'bout myself
