"Dad's Song" lyrics - SET IT OFF

SET IT OFF
"Dad's Song"

Do you believe in happy endings?
Or the mendings of human hearts?
Oh I believe in both, I'm certain
Because these curtains are state of the art
If you'd occasionally happen to spy on me
You'd think I'm having one sided conversations
But I hear him talking back
You'd think I may even lack some sanity
But maybe I can't let go
And so I'll say

[Chorus:]
I finally wrote your song at last
Sorry that this one came out so sad
Every tear I had was shed for the man
That gave me a better sense of life and meaning
To motivate, there's no short-cuts to success
I'll wait for his guiding hands
My guardian angel until the very end

I see a cold seat on the couch where I remember
That just four years ago around December
You sat me down and held me next to you, so close
How I long for things to be restored
To back when times weren't quite this hard
In the car that song you sang to me
Never rang so loud before

[Pre-Chorus:]
Oh, what I'd give for just another hug from you
You may be gone, but love will never die
And so I'll say

[Chorus:]
I finally wrote your song at last
Sorry that this one came out so sad
Every tear I had was shed for the man
That gave me a better sense of life and meaning
To motivate, there's no short-cuts to success
I'll wait for his guiding hands
My guardian angel until the very end

[Bridge:]
Tears can't run dry when I start to cry
When I hear people speak of how you'd be so proud of me
And how I hope this song will reach your ears
I battled all my darkest fears
I once was blind, but now it's clear
Wherever I go I know that you'll be near

[Chorus:]
I finally wrote your song at last
Sorry that this one came out so sad
Any tear I had was shed for the man
That gave me a better sense of life and meaning
To motivate, there's no short-cuts to success
I'll wait for his guiding hands
My guardian angel until the very end
Until the very end
My guardian angel until the very end
