An 8-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
