Lyrics

I remember you as a little girl
Questioning the whole wide world
I always answered if I knew
Though it rarely seemed enough for you
And the demons that I held inside
Have finally come to claim my pride
And all your love has slipped away

I raised you to be good and true
So there you go girl, look at you
I couldn't be a prouder man
You say your piece, you take your stand
Now that I have dropped the ball
You've seen how far the weak can fall
And all your love has slipped away

I wanted you to take your space
To walk your way with strength and grace
I don't know how it came to be
Burdened by the likes of me
Now that we are face to face
With my dark side and sad disgrace
All your love has slipped away

I'm sorry that I broke your heart
And let loose this whole ugly part
I will always want the best for you
May all your other dreams come true
And I'll get by with what I have
These memories of an errant Dad
When all your love
Has slipped away
