No one turns to their father when they're only fifteen
When the weight of the world has got you down in the dirt
With your sense of self worth
But it only takes a moment
Just one blink and everything you know
Your child's last chance to grow
Is over before you know
The foundation fell from under
It fell from under your feet
She went to your arms for help
You only thought of yourself
A friend to the family
Your eyes were treachery
You pretended to comfort her
She needed someone to love her
Tears washed against her scars in you arms
The damage is done
It can never be undone
The damage is done
But it only takes a moment
Just one blink and everything you know
Your child's last moment to grow
Is over before you know
The foundation fell from under
It fell from under your feet
