Daddy never cried, he just turned away
Never showed the side that was soft as clay
What a weak reply, you live inside a blanket of blame

CHORUS:
Why would you need a gift of pardoning
Until your sin becomes your own
Soon comes inevitable reckoning
Then you'll understand just how much
True love can change a man

Daddy never cried will not work today
Put your pride aside we all need grace
Somewhere deep inside what you
Love is what you need to hate

CHORUS:
When will you stop blaming somebody else
You make decisions on your own
You chose to leave the truth for nonsense
Do you understand just how much
The truth can change a man

Daddy never...

CHORUS:
Why would you need a gift of pardoning
Until your sin becomes your own
Soon comes inevitable reckoning
Then you'll understand just how
Much true love can change a man

Daddy never cried
Put your pride aside
