Her Father's Song

I saw the rain fall down today
Watch lightning crash through skies of grey
Why can't life just be polite, and wait.

I saw the lights outside your house
Red lights cut like nothin' else
The scene of a silent cry for 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?

[Chorus:]
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?

[Chorus:]
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
