Her old man
Is always doing the best he can
Provides for the family he loves endlessly
But still they don't seem to connect
His oldest born girl
Is now a mother to her own
But he's raising the children because she can't commit
She shuts out the world with no goodbyes to the kids
And when you scream her name, she hears nothing
The emptiness inside is growing
She can't hide from the feeling
When it's written in her eyes
She's fading but she'll tell you that she's fine
He's a good man
Sure he made a few mistakes
But he doesn't deserve this
No he doesn't deserve this
In his eyes she's still pretty
But to the world she looks empty
It's hard for him to face the fact
That home ain't where home used to be
You're not coming home
'Cause home ain't where home used to be
And when you scream her name, she hears nothing
The emptiness inside is growing
She can't hide from the feeling
When it's written in her eyes
She's fading but she'll tell you that she's fine
When she tells you that she's fine, don't believe it
