We share the family line.

But foolish family pride

Keeps me from your side

The more you hear me cry

The more I have to lie

If we shared in the mistakes

We’d have something he couldn’t take

But silence is our bond

When it all seems to go wrong

And I will try to steer you right

I wish I could spare you all the misery

I wish I could show you all that I have seen

And though our hearts beat side by side

6 months out of nine

You appeared in all my pain

You don’t even keep my name

I hope that all I’ve done hasn’t been in vain

For you my darling Jane.

What woman gets to keep her daughter

After all the precious things you taught her

She’ll soon be daddy’s little girl

In a made for daddy’s little world

A man will change her name

Once he’s got her

But a woman never claims her daughter

I’m afraid if I tell you

Not to be like me

Deny for you

The little joy I've seen

And if I were to say

It should be any other way

You’d find someone just like him

Then curse the very day

In the silence of our bond

The truth’s too much to bear,

The truth is, it just isn’t fair.
