I Don't Have The Words

Now I know your sleeping
And the stars are in the sky
My breathing is more steady
And No tears come from my eyes

I think about about your hopes
But I do not want to cry
Or for the sun to come up
When you'll ask the reasons why

I won't say bad words to you
About all the things she's done
Cause I'll always be your Daddy
And she'll always be your Mum

So I turn my pain into sunshine
For the one that I once loved
But I'd rather live in pain without her
Than in sunshine with no love

And protecting all her youth

These words seem true and simple
For the ones who follow rules
But I've drawn swords with the devil
Who'll use a child as her tool

Why can't I feel anger
While my child drowns in the rain
When all the court will offer
Is a childhood of pain

I take a slow, long deep breath
As we walk in the store
Dam your friend has rich tastes
My wallet's felt this pain before

You squeeze into the fly jeans
As you turn around and say
Does my bum look big in these babe
Now I should run away

Does my bum look big in these babe
