The End
Mikill Pane Lyrics

I remembered when she was my tiny little girl
The singer looks back on a time when his daughter was young.

I swore that I'd protect her from the drama in the world
The singer made a promise to keep his daughter safe from the dangers out there.

I was only trying to defend her
The singer was simply trying to protect his daughter.

But all I ever do now is offend her
Despite his good intentions, the artist now only upsets his daughter.

The choices that she's made have torn us apart
The daughter's decisions have caused a rift between her and her father.

And I'm a broken man because a boy has her heart
The fact that his daughter is in love with someone else has left the singer feeling defeated.

And I became invisible when said she was sure
The daughter made it clear that she didn't want to see her father anymore, leaving him feeling invisible.

That she didn't want to see me anymore
The daughter expressed that she was done with her father.

She said she'd tried
The daughter claims that she made an effort to get her father to see things from her perspective.

To make me see what she could see
The daughter attempted to help her father understand her point of view.

She was happy leaving me
The daughter is content with breaking off ties with her father.

Because I was blind
The artist's inability to see things from his daughter's perspective is the reason for the broken relationship.

So I replied, "Don't come crying back to me
The singer holds a grudge and tells his daughter not to expect sympathy from him if she ever comes back.

You destroyed our family"
The singer blames his daughter for the downfall of their family.

Both of us lied
Both the singer and his daughter are guilty of not being completely honest with each other.

I believe that she inherited her father's mind
The artist thinks that his daughter shares his way of thinking.

So why's she leaving me so very, very far behind?
The artist is confused as to why his daughter wants nothing to do with him despite being similar to him.

She looked me in the eye and said, "You raised me
The daughter makes it known that her father brought her up.

But if I took your side, I would be crazy
The daughter feels that agreeing with her father's perspective is unreasonable.

You said that if I lived without regrets, I would be strong
The artist instilled in his daughter the idea that living without regret is a sign of strength.

And then she used it all against me when she did me wrong
The daughter twists the advice her father gave her to make him feel guilty for her mistakes.

She's a chip off the old block
The daughter is similar to her father in some ways.

If it's what we want, we don't stop
Both the father and daughter are stubborn in getting what they want.

Even if it brings things to an end
The consequences of their actions don't matter as long as they get what they want.

Since we said to hell with this
Both parties have given up on trying to fix the situation.

All I ask myself is this:
The singer wonders if he would make the same choices if given a second chance.

Would I do it all again?
The singer questions if his choices were the right ones.
