Father's Garden
When I was a little girl
I came home with a pocket full of dreams
Only to see them scattered on the floor
The day that you left me there
Waiting by the front door
Year after year I collected those seeds
That you left inside of me
Waiting to be replanted somewhere
In a garden full of hopes and dreams
Daddies don't do the things that you do
I couldn't run after you
I couldn't run after you
I had to run to myself
Over and over again
Run to myself
Over and over again
For years and years
I searched my heart for you
I didn't know what to do
With all this anger inside
And tried to hide
But I came to myself
And confronted you
Year after year I collected those seeds
That you left inside of me
Waiting to be replanted somewhere
In a garden full of hopes and dreams
Daddies don't do the things that you do
I couldn't run after you
I couldn't run after you
I had to run to myself
Over and over again
Run to myself
Over and over again
Father of mine
Can we build this in time
This garden of love
Its been so hard
Can we plant those seeds
And watch them grow
Father of mine
Don't you know
Its been hard
For all these years
Its been hard
Missing you
Father of mine
Don't you know
Its been too many years
I really don't know what to say
I don't want to let words get in the way
Daddies don't do that to their little girls
Daddies don't do that to their little girls
Father of mine
Don't you leave
Father of mine
I can't breathe
I'll take the first step forward
I'll take the first step forward
I'll take the first step forward
Father of mine
Don't you know
Its getting harder on my end
I look into your eyes
And see the man that I once knew
I'm not sure where he went
But I'm seeing you
Father of mine
Can't you see?
When you weren't there?
Why did you leave me?
Can we take those seeds
And throw them down?
Can we scatter them round?
And build something new?
Can we build something new?
Just me and you
In our garden full of hopes and dreams
Can we spring love anew?
In our garden full of hopes and dreams
I came home with a pocket full of dreams
Only to see them scattered on the floor
The day that you left me there
Waiting by the front door
Year after year I collected those seeds
That you left inside of me
Waiting to be replanted somewhere
In a garden full of hopes and dreams
Daddies don't do the things that you do
I couldn't run after you
I couldn't run after you
I had to run to myself
Over and over again
Run to myself
Over and over again
For years and years
I searched my heart for you
I didn't know what to do
With all this anger inside
And tried to hide
But I came to myself
And confronted you
Year after year I collected those seeds
That you left inside of me
Waiting to be replanted somewhere
In a garden full of hopes and dreams
Daddies don't do the things that you do
I couldn't run after you
I couldn't run after you
I had to run to myself
Over and over again
Run to myself
Over and over again
Father of mine
Can we build this in time
This garden of love
Its been so hard
Can we plant those seeds
And watch them grow
Father of mine
Don't you know
Its been hard
For all these years
Its been hard
Missing you
Father of mine
Don't you know
Its been too many years
I really don't know what to say
I don't want to let words get in the way
Daddies don't do that to their little girls
Daddies don't do that to their little girls
Father of mine
Don't you leave
Father of mine
I can't breathe
I'll take the first step forward
I'll take the first step forward
I'll take the first step forward
Father of mine
Don't you know
Its getting harder on my end
I look into your eyes
And see the man that I once knew
I'm not sure where he went
But I'm seeing you
Father of mine
Can't you see?
When you weren't there?
Why did you leave me?
Can we take those seeds
And throw them down?
Can we scatter them round?
And build something new?
Can we build something new?
Just me and you
In our garden full of hopes and dreams
Can we spring love anew?
In our garden full of hopes and dreams
