My Father, Who Art In His Heaven

You can't say that we didn't try

To open up to you,

But in spite of the tears we cried

There's nothing you would do

To try to save what we should have,

The fault was never yours

We lay our hearts out on the line

But, no - 'I'm not the cause.'

Someday you'll look back and see

In you we can't invest,

We need to move forth and be free,

And finally get some rest.

Goodbye, adieu, auf wiedersehen,

We shall not meet again.
