It's funny that way, you can get used   To the tears and the pain   What a child will believe   You never loved me      You can't hurt me now   I got away from you, I never thought I would   You can't make me cry, you once had the power   I never felt so good about myself      Seems like yesterday   I lay down next to your boots and I prayed   For your anger to end   Oh Father I have sinned      You can't hurt me now   I got away from you, I never thought I would   You can't make me cry, you once had the power   I never felt so good about myself      Oh Father you never wanted to live that way   You never wanted to hurt me   Why am I running away      Oh Father you never wanted to live that way   You never wanted to hurt me   Why am I running away      Maybe someday   When I look back I'll be able to say   You didn't mean to be cruel   Somebody hurt you too
