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 alright
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 are 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 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 are just a long, lost memory of mine
Now I'm writing just to let you know I'm still alive
Yeah, I'm still alive

And sometimes
I forgive
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 are just a long, lost memory of mine
Now I'm writing just to let you know I'm still alive

And sometimes
I forgive
And this time
I'll admit
That I miss you
I miss you

Hey Dad
