Fathers Eyes - Ask Embla

I could paint a picture of my heart, hang it on a wall

And watch the colours fade away

Tell the world that we have been a lie

All this time we’ve spent

I could tell myself that I have done all that I could do

If that would take the pain away

Tell the world we lost it, baby I, I’m not done here yet

I know that people think our love is like a fantasy

I know that no one seems to understand what I see but I

I see with my fathers eyes.

I see with my fathers eyes

You were like a fire and I’ve tried, risking all I am

To let you go and kill the flames

Oh, a heart can burn so many times, I am proof of that

And I could paint a picture of your heart, hang it on a wall

And I would never walk away

I would stand there asking myself why I’m not broken yet

I know that people think our love is like a fantasy

I know that no one seems to understand what I see when I

I see with my fathers eyes.

I see with my fathers eyes

I know that everybody says you’ve not been good to me

They just don’t realize I’m nothing if I set you free

I see with my father’s eyes.

I see with my father’s eyes

Oh, I have my humanity, and I know why

Lost in my sanity cause I, think that I could learn to fly

I see it in my fathers eyes

Oh I have my humanity and I know why

Lost in my sanity cause I, think that I could learn to fly

I see it in my fathers eyes

I know that people think our love is like a fantasy

I know that no one seems to understand what I see but I

I see with my fathers eyes.

I see with my fathers eyes

I know that everybody says you’ve not been good to me

They just don’t realize I’m nothing if I set you free

I see with my father’s eyes.

I see with my father’s eyes

Oh why, see with my fathers eyes

Oh why, losing my sanity cause I

See with my fathers eyes

I see with my fathers eyes
