I was only ten
I remember what you said
Underneath the slowly fading sky
You just looked away
Hid the tears that filled your face
Everyone knows fathers never cry
You told me
"Son, the world is cold
You will see when you get old
Nothing lasts forever that I've known
You are happy now
Wait until the sun comes out
Then you'll find you're waking up alone
You're waking up alone."
Lose my reason to the wrong fear
Choose to think that I belong here
Who are we? What's going on here?
Let's go home, I wanna go home
Look at me and keep your promise
Always told me you were honest
Can't you see that I don't want this
I'm so afraid of ever being alone
♪
Soon we went inside
When the twilight turned to night
It's not safe to be out in the dark
Turn the kettle on
Take a seat and play a song
On the radio she used to love
In your misery
You passed on the pain to me
Fire in your heart that slowly burned
Lies began to crack
You gave up a while back
Lose my reason to the wrong fear
Choose to think that I belong here
Who are we? What's going on here?
Let's go home, I wanna go home
Look at me and keep your promise
Always told me you were honest
Can't you see that I don't want this
I'm so afraid of ever being alone
Of ever being alone
I don't want to be alone
Dad? It's been a while
Since you've seen your only child
I never pick up the telephone
But I hear you now
Still inside my heart somehow
Won't you leave so I can be alone?
