I'll never forget that look in your eyes
Distant and cold, as you passed me by...
Go ahead, darling
Close your eyes...
So I'm drowning again, daddy
and I've been crying again, daddy...
Dimly lit room, hours she's been here
The mirror she's been staring in...
Lost in my confusion
I try to leave it at one last kiss...
Now you've come to twist the knife
Breaking the pieces of my mended life...
Sweet as the words may sound
Gracious as the gestures may be...
Hand in hand, I walked as a child
Feeling naught but emptiness in his touch...
You could pay me a nightly visit
Too young I was, when you always did...
Alone in the dark
She was so scared...
She looks away
Hoping to hide the pain in her eyes...
Rescue me from my hands
Ready to tear my skin like paper...
