everclear - father of mine (acoustic) lyrics

Loading...

father of mine
tell me, where you have been?
you know i just closed my eyes
my whole world disappeared
father of mine
take me, back to the day
yeah, when i was still your golden boy
back before you went away

i remember blue skies
walking the block
i loved it when you held me high
i loved to hear you talk
you would take me to the movie
you would take me to the beach
you would take me to a place inside
thatâ€™s so hard to reach

oh, father of mine
tell me, where did you go?
yeah, you had the world inside your hand
but you did not seem to know
father of mine
tell me, what do you see
when you look back at your wasted life?
and you don’t see me

i was ten years old
doing all that i could
wasn’t easy for me to be a scared
white boy in a black neighborhood
sometimes you would send me a birthday card
with a five dollar bill
yeah, i never understood you then
and i guess i never will

daddy gave me a name
my daddy gave me a name
then he walked away
daddy gave me a name
then he walked away
my daddy he gave me a name

oh yeah, oh yeah

daddy gave me a name
daddy gave me a name
then he walked away
daddy gave me a name
then he walked away
my daddy gave me a name

yeah, yeah, oh yeah

father of mine
tell me, where have you been?
yeah, i just closed my eyes
and the world disappeared
father of mine
tell me, how do you sleep
with the children you abandoned
and the wife i saw you beat?

i will never be safe
i will never be sane
i will always be weird inside
i will always be lame
now that iâ€™m a grown man
with a child of my own
and i swear i’ll never let her know
all the pain i have known

then he walked away
daddy gave me a name
then he walked away
my daddy gave me a name
then he walked away
my daddy gave me a name
then he walked away
my daddy gave me a name

then he walked away
(yeah)
then he walked away
(yeah)
then he walked away
(oh yeah)
