I want to close off my ears away from your words
I wish I was able to stop the hurt
I can't deal with hearing you're fears
I'm not strong enough to wipe your tears
I'm only a child inside
and I feel lost and alone and I want to hide
But I know I'm the only one you turn to
I understand this and I love you
But daddy I'm no adult and I can't deal with this
I just can't take hearing about all that you'll miss
I sit there quietly and nod and agree
But don't you see this confiding is killing me?
