Ellie Goulding - Father lyrics

[Verse 1] Opened up a box of you Piece of paper or two With my name written on it, and a question mark Who is this girl that I've made? ‘Cause I've been kept in the dark [Verse 2] And I've seen you once, Father In the fear of your belts and leather And you were just about to tempt her, and There was distance You're my spout resistance And I can't believe that you still don't know me ‘Cause I am a mystery [Chorus] So I separated all the things that I have hated With the victories I've won And the biggest one was you You don't know my street or the size of my feet or Or the time it took to grow ‘Cause Father these are things you should know These are things you should know [Verse 3] Knocked the breath right out of you But what's a brown-eyed girl to do? When her future lies on chasing paper And all I get from you is; “You're so clever" and "I'll see you later.” And I just can't hide my frustration When there's so much more you could have done Like given me hope and attention instead of ignore No I don't mind, no, I don't mind because he is just a boy Cause we are children We are merely children And he is just a boy [Chorus]
