Feel the sadness burning in my heart
You left to early father love
So many things I should have said
But in you mind you knew it well
Holding on to what I got and love
But things still seems so dark and cold
The fire burning down my happiness
But I will rise

So proud and strong you truly was,
I took it with me as a tool
A gift from father to his only son
Watching over me with eagle eyes
You gave me freedom to a life,
Where dreams are born and truly became real

See me falling, yeah down and lonely
Are the angles on their way, I'm in the dirt
Hear me screaming, see me bleeding
'Cause the days no more the same without you

Promise me my son you always will,
Cherish what you love believing in
Never loose your values, stand up for the day
Oh dear father I thank you for the years
I'm writing this song on your desk
Together we can make it through the day

See me falling, yeah down and lonely
Are the angles on their way, I'm in the dirt
Hear me screaming, see me bleeding
'Cause the days no more the same without you

See me falling, yeah down and lonely
Are the angles on their way, I'm in the dirt
Hear me screaming, see me bleeding
'Cause the days no more the same without you

See me falling, yeah down and lonely
Are the angles on their way, I'm in the dirt
Hear me screaming, see me bleeding
'Cause the days no more the same without you
