it's funny that way, you can get used
to the tears and the pain
what a child will believe
you never loved me
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
seems like yesterday
i lay down next to your boots and i prayed
for your anger to end
oh father i have sinned
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
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
maybe someday
when i look back i'll be able to say
you didn't mean to be cruel
somebody hurt you too
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
