An eight year old girl
had a panic attack
'Cause the father she loved left
and never looked back
No longer the hero she counted on
He told her he loved her
and then he was gone
She tried to look happy
in front of her friends
But knew that she'd never
feel normal again
She fought back the tears
as they filled her eyes
And wanted him back just to
tell him goodbye
When the rain falls down
When it all turns around
When the light goes out
This isn't the end
Her dad was a good guy
that everyone liked
But nobody knew
he was dying inside
He promised his family
he'd be alright
And then with a gunshot
he left them behind
When the rain falls down
When it all turns around
When the light goes out
This isn't the end
When the rain falls down
When it all turns around
When the light goes out
This isn't the end no
The role of a father
he never deserved
He abandoned his daughter
and never returned
And over the years
though the pain was real
She finally forgave him
and started to heal
How close is the ending
well nobody knows
The future's a mystery
and anything goes
Love is confusing and life is hard
You fight to survive
'cause you made it this far
It's all too astounding
to comprehend
It's just the beginning
this isn't the end
It's just the beginning
this isn't the end
