Father What did I miss? I lost the key to my own happiness It's strange how we all cope With the knowledge the fault is our own The pressure of being alone It's strange how losing hope Is a magnet for those who have far Too much hope to spare And the wheels in my mind won't turn If the weight of your kindness burns Father Who do you know? Cuz the boy that you loved left home A long long time ago Is it fair? Is it right to assume He'd return himself to you? Like an often borrowed tool Used but not changed (Mended but not maimed) Oh how I wish Things could stay the same We could go back to the day I left And tell me not to stray But now it's too late And the weight Of your kindness burns So the wheels in my mind don't turn And I shut down It's strange how we all cope It's strange how you find hope Life is short And it's all I've got left to do Take this song It's the only way I know to talk to you Your sweetness is too much for me Your sweetness is too
