one girl's father falls into stony silence
ashamed of his daughter's choice of a man
his eyes trace the floorboards
her eyes fill with tears
one girl's father dreams aloud of her success
she's ashamed to admit her mind has changed
her ears fill with poison
her eyes fill with tears

and they cry
he's so disappointed
and they know
he won't understand

two girls with fathers who're breaking their hearts
it's your job to be proud, they plead
i just want you to be proud of me
