oh father/papa don't preach

It's funny that way, you can get used To the tears and the pain What a child will believe You never loved me we had a rugh start a bear family i guess loved and wanted but not in the right moment or path i still try to figure out why things happened the way they do but every line i follo end on the very same point a big "it does not matter any more 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 today well nowadays i struggle with that thinking about the past but letting it go little by little  Seems like yesterday I lay down next to your boots and I Prayed For your anger to end Oh Father I have sinned i know the won't go completely, that they will leave a mark because that form part of who i am now, i can say that maybe we have a better understanding of each other's characters and boundaries i really apreciate that he now repect my silece and the way i feel but there is a still way to go Oh Father you never wanted to live that way You never wanted to hurt me Why am I running away Maybe someday When I look back I'll be able to say You didn't mean to be cruel Somebody hurt you too i have now a better father-son relationship one that i am almos prud of but still lots of work to do i now have a better way of the things that happened on your youth and i try to empathize with it i undertand your father figure was neither too strong but at least now that i need you the most you are having the patience to hepl me to get on my feet again and you have never leave me alone or on my own for a second and i'm thankful for that for this awesome family i have thoug is broken now we are still stick together like madonna said wisefuly the only thing you can depend on is your family
