Father's Day

The way she held my hand And then gave me a faint little smile Like she knew that I Might be gone, gone for a while And if you're looking for advice my dear I have nothing to say I am always at a loss for words When you look at me that way But the bruises keep the breaks at bay On Father's Day And the flowers they did bloom On the day that you were born They're like diamonds littering On the cross on my shores And if you're looking for advice my dear I have nothing to say I am always at a loss for words When you look at me that way But the bruises keep the breaks at bay On Father's Day But you can make yourself better Better than me You are more than just a product of your history You're like you Mom, little girl And believe me, that's the best thing in the world And I'm sorry for the things that get messed up And they will be places that you may not get enough And some memories you wish you never had But won't kill you makes you stronger And you just tell them You got that from your dad And if you're looking for advice my dear I have nothing to say I am always at a loss for words When you look at me that way And I'll always, always love you No matter what you do When you're growing up without me I will always be with you Must be something in the way that I was raised And the bruises keep the breaks at bay Yeah the bruises keep the breaks at bay On Father's Day
