Her Father's Song

I saw the rain fall down today
Watched lightning crash through skies of gray
Why can't life just be polite and wait, wait?

I saw the lights outside your house
Red lights cut like nothing else
The scene of a silent cry for help, help

How are we supposed to do this if everyone we love still lets us down?
If you're there, can you hear me now?

No matter how hard I try can't get you out of my mind
Wish I could be there to help you say goodbye
Don't hold it inside 'cause what's left can be right
What's left can be right

I saw the sky go black today
I felt your tears and ached your pain
It's hard to tell how much this changed, how you see everything

And all I can do is pray that you don't take the blame
'Cause it's not your fault that it happened this way
Happened this way

How are we supposed to do this if everyone we love still lets us down?
If you're there, can you hear me now?

No matter how hard I try can't get you out of my mind
Wish I could be there to help you say goodbye
Don't hold it inside 'cause what's left can be right
What's left can be right
