Oh Father Lyrics


It's funny that way, you can get used
To the tears and the pain
What a child will believe
You never loved me
You can't hurt me now
I got away from you, I never thought I would
You can't make me cry, you had the power
I never felt so good 'bout myself
Seems like yesterday
I lay down next to your boots and I prayed
For your anger to end
Oh, Father, I have sinned
You can't hurt me now
I got away from you, I never thought I would
You can't make me cry, you had the power
I never felt so good 'bout myself
Oh, Father, you never wanted to live that way
You never wanted to hurt me

Why am I running away?
Oh, Father, you never wanted to live that way
You never wanted to hurt me
Why am I running away?
Oh, Father, you never wanted to live that way
You never wanted to hurt me
Why am I running away?
Maybe someday
When I look back I'll be able to say
You didn't mean to be cruel
Somebody hurt you too
You can't hurt me now
I got away from you, I never thought I would
You can't make me cry, you had the power
I never felt so good 'bout myself
You can't hurt me now
I got away from you, I never thought I would
And you can't make me cry, you had the power
I never felt so good
You can't hurt me now
I got away from you, I never thought I would
You can't make me cry, you had the power
I never felt so good 'bout myself

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Mike Hadreas, also known as Perfume Genius is a singer/songwriter from Seattle, Washington, US. Perfume Genius began when he moved from New York to his mother's home in Everett, WA. In these relatively isolated conditions, Hadreas felt a compulsion to make music and began composing fragile yet brutally honest songs on the piano. By 2008 he had set up a MySpace page and began offering his music there, along with similarly spare and evocative homemade music videos.
