Oh, before they turn off all the lights
I won’t read you your wrongs or your rights
The time has gone
I tell you good night, close the door
I 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
Don’t need to forgive, don’t 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 truth
The time is gone
I folded your clothes on the chair
I hope you sleep well, don’t be scared
The time is gone
So here it is
I’m not your son, you’re not my father
We’re just two grown men saying goodbye
Don’t need to forgive, don’t 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 arm on your own
I will be your 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
Don’t need to forgive, don’t 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.
