Stolen Truths

Life experiences

 

Time after time, you turn away from me.

You turn around and walk away,

Totally ignoring my pleas.

I wish you were there for me,

I just wish you really cared.

For now I’m growing older and I just really need you there.

 

I gave you those chances,

I watched the time pass.

And as I got hurt more and more.

Oh. How you tore me apart.

I couldn’t see the figures, I couldn’t see the truth,

As all I wanted was you and me, father and daughter.

 

In a girl's eyes their father is a hero,

They're superman without the cape.

They're the bees-knees,

The best off all.

The ones who read to you at night

And are their for you when you awake.

 

But when the cape is removed and the mask is taken off,

Little by little the truth is unleashed.
The cracks in the paintwork begin to show

And little by little you feel like those cracks.

You feel like wasting away and never coming back

And this is how I found out the truth really does hurt.
