You tried to control everything   You tried to live through me   You tied my hands with your condescension   I was always walking on glass   You kept me locked in the past   Everything I did was to get your attention      I'll always let you down    Yeah, but I don't care   You'll never understand   I wasted all the time in the world in your eyes   (Father's eyes)      You twist my thoughts with your ways   You let my feelings decay   And now I'm afraid of the world around me   Don't let me think for myself   You wish I was somebody else   Everything I did was for you, what about me      I'll always let you down   Yeah, but I don't care   You'll never understand   I wasted all the time in the world in your eyes   You'll never understand   I'll withstand the pain inside   (Father's eyes)      All the things you broke   All the things you took away   All the things you lost   All the promises you made   Never giving in   Always feeling betrayed   I won't let you get inside my head      I'll always let you down   Yeah, but I don't care   You'll never understand   I wasted all the time in the world in your eyes   I'll always let you down   Yeah, but I don't care   You'll never understand   I wasted all the time in the world in your eyes   (Father's eyes)
