Bruce Gaitsch - Oh Father lyrics

[Verse 1] It's funny that way You can get used to the tears and the pain What a child will believe You never loved me [Chorus] You can't hurt me now I got away from you I never thought I would You can't make me cry You once had the power I never felt so good about myself [Verse 2] Seems like yesterday I lay down next to your boots and I prayed For your anger to end Oh father, I have sinned [Chorus] You can't hurt me now I got away from you I never thought I would You can't make me cry You once had the power I never felt so good about myself [Bridge] Oh father, you never wanted to live that way You never wanted to hurt me Why am I running away? Oh father, you never wanted to live that way You never wanted to hurt me Why am I running away? [Verse 3] Maybe someday When I look back, I'll be able to say You didn't mean to be cruel Somebody hurt you too [Chorus] You can't hurt me now I got away from you I never thought I would You can't make me cry You once had the power I never felt so good about myself
