you don’t need this tonite
everything could be alright
just looking at your face
i’m lost in your embrace

as i turned to leave
nothing could make me believe
that life went on outside
where there’s no place to hide

you knew me then
and you know me now
but i’m always so scared
you won’t like what’s found

doesn’t matter what happens
i’ll always be here with you
because this is more than worth
all we’ve gone through

a father's pride

never there before
always far away
i can’t take much more
i don’t know the way
if maybe you were here
then maybe i could hide
i could shield myself
with my father’s pride

but you
have never been here
can’t wait
around for you
if i stay/scream
will my voice be heard
above
all the rest
i won’t know
until you tell me
why
this seemed best

no one here with me
to help me thru
i’m always alone
because of you
