This Isn't the End

An eight year old girl had a panic attack 'Cause the father she loved left and never looked back No longer the hero she counted on He told her he loved her and then he was gone She tried to look happy in front of her friends But knew that she'd never feel normal again She fought back the tears as they filled her eyes And wanted him back just to tell him goodbye When the rain falls down When it all turns around When the light goes out This isn't the end Her dad was a good guy that everyone liked But nobody knew he was dying inside He promised his family he'd be alright And then with a gunshot he left them behind When the rain falls down When it all turns around When the light goes out This isn't the end When the rain falls down When it all turns around When the light goes out This isn't the end, no. The role of a father he never deserved He abandoned his daughter and never returned And over the years though the pain was real She finally forgave him and started to heal How close is the ending, well, nobody knows The future's a mystery and anything goes Love is confusing and life is hard You fight to survive 'cause you made it this far It's all too astounding to comprehend It's just the beginning this isn't the end It's just the beginning this isn't the end
