Empty Courage / Empty Heart |
Wait for the sunset |
So you can see that you shine, too |
Darkness waits in secret |
Hoping your light shines through |
She told me about you and she couldn’t help but cry |
I may not be a part of your family |
But I can’t help myself sometimes |
I love her so much, and you stole so many good times |
So prodigal father, please listen: |
I just want to give you my two cents to try to make things right |
'Cause when she told me about you |
She told me you were at the top of the line building up a tower Holding onto |
secrets and holding onto power |
But it wasn’t until you got to the top |
That you realized your tower was a cliff |
You saw the water splashing on the rocks below |
And your mentality shifts |
So you steal the innocence of every kid |
Who doesn’t even have an example set by you to live up to |
'Cause there 's so much that goes into loving |
More lovers than just the single mother |
The others cast into a pocket you keep when you feel bothered |
Your courage and your heart are empty |
But at least they go hand in hand |
God forbid a single formidable kid ever mistakes you for a man Because even |
your shadow wouldn’t follow |
When you stepped into the dark |
What’s gonna happen when you wake up |
And realize you abandoned your family |
And now you’ve fallen apart? |
Staring straight through a brainwashed |
Wrinkles erased as they take their place upon her jawline |
Shifting while her chapped lips form the words |
«I never wanted this» |
Every kiss is spread women you never intended to miss |
You dismiss the chapter of innocence for every child that grows up Without your |
example of what not to do |
When trying to raising a kid |
Your daughter says she hates you |
And never wants to see you again |
When really, she would kill just to have a father |
To walk her down the aisle |
When she is ready to trust a man |
To not live up to the example you set |
Because the second she was born |
Was the second you took your final bow |
And now somehow, she can’t believe the sound |
Of a man’s voice saying «I love you» |
From day one, you gave this beautiful gift a reason not to trust |
And now she can’t see any love through |
So come home, prodigal father, forgiveness is always possible |
You could always walk on a straight line |
So come home, prodigal father, forgiveness is always possible |
And you could walk on that straight line |
And on your way through the door, please pick up your spine |
'Cause whether you believe it or not, you’re a part of a family |
Wait for the sunset |
So you can see that you shine too |
Darkness waits in secret |
Hoping your light shines through |
Come home, come home, come home |
Forget all the promises you made |
Come home, come home, come home |
'Cause forgiveness is in its place |
