I know things are bad
And I know they aren't right
Just promise me something
Please stay one more night

This time bomb is ticking
Just waiting to blow
Things are falling apart
Daddy please don't go

It's sinking in
To what is over now
I'm told to move on
But I don't know how

No more families dinners
No more families games
Unfortunatly I know
There is no one to blame

Tension is thick
Emotions run high
Just promise me something
Don't make me say goodbye

I'm losing all hope
And my faith is low
Now we can only wait
Daddy please don't go
