hey dad i′m writing to you
not to tell you, that i still hate you
just to ask you how you feel
and how we fell apart
how this fell apart
are you happy out there in this great wide world?
do you think about your sons?
do you miss your little girl?
when you lay your head down
how do you sleep at night?
do you even wonder if we′re all right?
we′re alright
we′re alright
it′s been a long hard road without you by my side
why weren′t you there all the nights that we cried?
you broke my mother′s heart, you broke your children for life
it′s not ok but we′re alright
i remember the days you were a hero in my eyes
but those were just a long lost memory of mine
i spent so many years learning how to survive
now i′m writing just to let you know that i′m still alive
the days i spent so cold, so hungry, were full of hate
i was so angry, the scars run deep inside this tattooed body
there′s things i′ll take to my grave,
but i′m ok, i′m ok
it′s been a long hard road without you by my side
why weren′t you there all the nights that we cried?
you broke my mother′s heart, you broke your children for life
it′s not ok but we′re alright
i remember the days you were a hero in my eyes
but those were just a long lost memory of mine
now i′m writing just to let you know that i′m still alive
and sometimes i forgive,
yeah and this time i′ll admit
that i miss you, said i miss you
it′s been a long hard road without you by my side
why weren′t you there all the nights that we cried?
you broke my mother′s heart, you broke your children for life
it′s not ok but we′re alright
i remember the days you were a hero in my eyes
but those were just a long lost memory of mine
now i′m writing just to let you know that i′m still alive
and sometimes i forgive,
yeah and this time i′ll admit
that i miss you, said i miss you
hey dad
