Hope Rises And Falls Lyrics

She's shed so many tears,
Watching her kids hope rise and fall,
As their father built an unbreakable wall,
She's never hated him this much before,
But over the years he swears he's different,
But she doesn't care anymore.

As her son holds up his arms,
After scoring the game winning goal,
Looking around for a sign of dad,
After spotting an empty seat he'd fill with rage,
And after all that cheering,
The game no longer means anything.

Their suitcases are packed ready to go,
Their dad's standing outside,
But with some news he's had to hide,
For the truth would break their heart,
He's leaving for a new family,
And as those words are spoken,
Any bond formed is broken.

She's shed so many tears,
Watching her kids hope rise and fall,
As their father built an unbreakable wall,
She's never hated him this much before,
But over the years he swears he's different,
But she doesn't care anymore.

She never knew it'd be written down,
Told to the generations to come,
That letting dad be his hero was a mistake,
No matter the times he'd let them down,
They'd believe all those promises he'd make,
Hoping one day he'd come around.

And now that boy has grown into a man,
Has met the love of his life,
Children are in the plan,
But letting his father know,
Is somewhere no one wants to go,
Because that boy doesn't want that pain.

Their suitcases are packed ready to go,
Their dad's standing outside,
But with some news he's had to hide,
For the truth would break their heart,
He's leaving for a new family,
And as those words are spoken,
Any bond formed is broken.
