Father's Eyes

I could paint a picture of my heart
Hanging on a wall
And watch the colours fade away
Tell the world that we have been a lie
All this time we've spent
I could tell myself that I have done
All that I could do
If that would take the pain away
Tell the world we lost it
Baby, I am not done here yet
I know that people think
Our love is like a fantasy
I know that no one seems
To understand what I see but I
I see with my father's eyes
I see with my father's eyes
You were like a fire and I try
Risking all I am
To let you go and kill the flames
Oh, a heart can burn so many times
I am proof of that
Oh, and I could paint a picture of your heart
Hanging on a wall
And I would never walk away
I would stand there asking myself
Why I'm not broken yet
I know that people think
Our love is like a fantasy
I know that no one seems
To understand what I see when I
I see with my father's eyes
I see with my father's eyes
I know that everybody says
You've not been good to me
They just don't realise
I'm nothing if I set you free, I
I see with my father's eyes
I see with my father's eyes
Oh, I got my humanity
And I know why
Lost in my sanity
'Cause I think that I could learn to fly
I see it in my father's eyes
Oh, I got my humanity
And I know why
Lost in my sanity
'Cause I think that I could learn to fly
I see it in my father's eyes
I know that people think
Our love is like a fantasy
I know that no one seems
To understand what I see when I
I see with my father's eyes
I see with my father's eyes
(Oh, I got my humanity)
I know that everybody says
You've not been good to me
(And I know why)
They just don't realise
(Lost in my sanity)
I'm nothing if I set you free, ('cause) I
I see with my father's eyes
I see with my father's eyes
(Oh, I got my humanity)
I see with my father's eyes
(And I know why)
(Lost in my sanity)
('Cause I)
I see with my father's eyes
I see with my father's eyes
