Even My Dad Does Sometimes Lyrics
It's alright to cry, even my dad does sometimes
So don't wipe your eyes, tears remind you you're alive
It's alright to die, 'cause death's the only thing you haven't tried
But just for tonight, hold on
So live life like you're giving up, 'cause you act like you are
Go ahead and just live it up, go on and tear me apart
It's alright to shake, even my hand does sometimes
So inside we rage against the dying of the light
It's alright to say that death's the only thing you haven't tried
But just for today, hold on
So live life like you're giving up, 'cause you act like you are
Go ahead and just live it up, go on and tear me apart, and hold on
So live life like you're giving up, 'cause you act like you are
Go ahead and just live it up, go on and tear me apart, and hold on
So don't wipe your eyes, tears remind you you're alive
It's alright to die, 'cause death's the only thing you haven't tried
But just for tonight, hold on
Go ahead and just live it up, go on and tear me apart
So inside we rage against the dying of the light
It's alright to say that death's the only thing you haven't tried
But just for today, hold on
Go ahead and just live it up, go on and tear me apart, and hold on
Go ahead and just live it up, go on and tear me apart, and hold on

To me this song is the singer trying to comfort someone who feels the need to commit suicide, telling them: It's alright to cry Even my dad does sometimes So don't wipe your eyes Tears remind you you're alive It's alright to die 'Cause death's the only thing you haven't tried But then tells them how wrong it seems, to kill themselves, because of how many people it would harm, including the singer: But just for tonight hold on
So live life like you're giving up 'Cause you act like you are Go ahead and just live it up Go on and tear me apart
He then says much of the same through the rest of the song, but not without saying how she's 'tearing him apart, so just hold on': It's alright to shake Even my hand does sometimes So inside the rage Against the dying of the light It's alright to say that death's the only thing you haven't tried But just for today hold on
So live life like you're giving up 'Cause you act like you are Go ahead and just live it up Go on and tear me apart hold on
Live life like you're giving up 'Cause you act like you are Go ahead and just live it up Go on and tear me apart hold on
Wow only one comment on this beautiful song. I think Mochemon has the meaning down well. I just had state wow - for Ed this is a throwaway song to be included in the bonus tracks section on the record. This song is F ing brilliant and shouldn't be overlooked. Many artists would write this and build an album around it. Ed simply includes it as a bonus.
