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'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 father's eyes
I see with my father's 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, 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, 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

I see with my father's eyes
I see with my father's eyes
I see with my father's eyes
