You tried to control everything

You tried to live through me

You tied my hands with your condescension

I was always walking on glass

You kept me locked in the past

Everything I did was to get your attention



I'll always let you down 

Yeah, but I don't care

You'll never understand

I wasted all the time in the world in your eyes

(Father's eyes)



You twist my thoughts with your ways

You let my feelings decay

And now I'm afraid of the world around me

Don't let me think for myself

You wish I was somebody else

Everything I did was for you, what about me



I'll always let you down

Yeah, but I don't care

You'll never understand

I wasted all the time in the world in your eyes

You'll never understand

I'll withstand the pain inside

(Father's eyes)



All the things you broke

All the things you took away

All the things you lost

All the promises you made

Never giving in

Always feeling betrayed

I won't let you get inside my head



I'll always let you down

Yeah, but I don't care

You'll never understand

I wasted all the time in the world in your eyes

I'll always let you down

Yeah, but I don't care

You'll never understand

I wasted all the time in the world in your eyes

(Father's eyes)
