Go ahead, darling
Close your eyes...

Daddy, my head is hurting
For I slammed it against the wall...

Dimly lit room, hours she's been here
The mirror she's been staring in...

Hand in hand, I walked as a child
Feeling naught but emptiness in his touch...

I've wasted yet another tear
Father, why weren't you here...

I'll never forget that look in your eyes
Distant and cold, as you passed me by...

Caught my tears, using your hand
Blocked my screams by deafening you...

Sweet as the words may sound
Gracious as the gestures may be...

Ever since you left, I haven't been able to do...
This time you're not here to wipe my eyes dry...

I've watched it all happen
Through my own eyes...

Silent girl, in the dark
Don't cry, I was there...

Blind to it all
I just hear what I wanted to hear...
