Ask Embla - Father´s eyes

I could paint a picture of my heart, hang it on a wall
And watch the colours fade away
Tell the world that we have been a lie
All this time we've spent
I could tell myself that I have done all that I could do
If that would take the pain away
Tell the world we lost it, baby I, I'm not done here yet
I know that people think our love is like a fantasy
I know that no one seems to understand what I see but I
I see with my fathers eyes. I see with my fathers eyes
You were like a fire and I've tried, risking all I am
To let you go and kill the flames
Oh, a heart can burn so many times, I am proof of that
And I could paint a picture of your heart, hang it on a wall
And I would never walk away
I would stand there asking myself why I'm not broken yet
I know that people think our love is like a fantasy
I know that no one seems to understand what I see when I
I see with my fathers eyes. I see with my fathers eyes
I know that everybody says you've not been good to me
They just don't realize I'm nothing if I set you free
I see with my father's eyes. I see with my father's eyes
Oh, I have my humanity, and I know why
Lost in my sanity cause I, think that I could learn to fly
I see it in my fathers eyes
Oh I have my humanity and I know why
Lost in my sanity cause I, think that I could learn to fly
I see it in my fathers eyes
I know that people think our love is like a fantasy
I know that no one seems to understand what I see but I
I see with my fathers eyes. I see with my fathers eyes
I know that everybody says you've not been good to me
They just don't realize I'm nothing if I set you free
I see with my father's eyes. I see with my father's eyes
Oh why, see with my fathers eyes
Oh why, losing my sanity cause I
See with my fathers eyes
I see with my fathers eyes
