It's funny that way, you can get used

To the tears and the pain

What a child will believe

You never loved me.

[Chorus]

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.

[Chorus]

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.

[Repeat]

Maybe someday

When I look back I'll be able to say

You didn't mean to be cruel

Somebody hurt you too.
