Just Like a Father

Chorus

Like a father

I was the son

Felt like a daughter

When the day was done

Just like a father

Just like a father

Verse 1

Pats on my shoulder

Stray fingers lingering

Thin ice colder

The quiet sting of your desertion

Watching you vanish

Watching you walk

Watching you wall me out

Pre-Chorus

Vulnerable and wide

You said open up

Then you chose to hide

Filling an empty cup

Chorus

Like a father

I was the son

Felt like a daughter

When the day was done

Just like a father

Just like a father

Post-Chorus

Ooh ooh

He lied

Ooh ooh

He pried

Verse 2

The paper told the story

Black ink on the page

You found your glory

Fleeing from the center stage

Wives at the hotel

Waiting for the call

While you built your wall

Pre-Chorus

Vulnerable and wide

You said open up

Then you chose to hide

Filling an empty cup

Bridge

Hair getting brushed by your hand

Then the score hit ten

Losing what I planned

Ignoring me again

Everyone else gets the praise

While I count the days

Chorus

Like a father

I was the son

Felt like a daughter

When the day was done

Just like a father

Just like a father

Post-Chorus

Ooh ooh

He lied

Ooh ooh

He pried
