Fathers Day - Live Session, Los Angeles, CA, 2017

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 that did bloom on the day that you were born

They're like diamonds littering all across all my shores
Make yourself better, better than me
You are more than just a product of your history
You're like your 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
They'll be places that you may not get enough
And some memories you wish you never had
But what 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
