oh
before they turn off all the lights
i won't read you your wrongs or your rights
the time has gone
i'll tell you goodnight
close the door
tell you i love you once more
the time has gone
so here it is
i'm not your son
you're not my father
we're just two grown men saying goodbye
no need to forgive
no need to forget
i know your mistakes and you know mine
and while you're sleeping i'll try to make you proud
so
daddy
won't you just close your eyes?
don't be afraid
it's my turn
to chase the monsters away
oh
well i'll read a story to you
only difference is this one is true
the time has gone
i folded your clothes on the chair
i hope you sleep well
don't be scared
the time has gone
so here it is
i'm not your son
you're not my father
we're just two grown men saying goodbye
no need to forgive
no need to forget
i know your mistakes and you know mine
and while you're sleeping i'll try to make you proud
so
daddy
won't you just close your eyes?
don't be afraid
it's my turn
to chase the monsters away
sleep a lifetime
yes
and breathe a last word
you can feel my hand on your arm
i will be the last one
so i'll leave a light on
let there be no darkness in your heart
but i'm not your son
you're not my father
we're just two grown men saying goodbye
no need to forgive
no need to forget
i know your mistakes and you know mine
and while you're sleeping i'll try to make you proud
so
daddy
won't you just close your eyes?
don't be afraid
it's my turn
to chase the monsters away
