Hey Dad
Where have you been for so long?
Why won't you look at me?
Is there something wrong?
Do you you remember me, the son that you conceived?
Why won't you look at me?
A son that you deceived
Oh God, what did I do to deserve this?
A man I never knew
A man I cannot miss
I gave you many chances, many that you took
And now I stand before you
You won't even look

How can we start all over
When we never began?
How can you be a father
You're not even a man
Why do you play these games?
Now you're in my head
You said you'd never leave me
But I left you instead
Oh God, what did I do to deserve this?
A man I never knew
A man I cannot miss
How can we start all over
When we never began?
How can you be a father?
You're not even a man
Why do you play these games?
Now you're in my head
You said you'd never leave me
So I left you instead

Hey dad
Hey dad

So then came kids of my own and I was there for them
I'm the man you couldn't be, I didn't learn from him
Where he is, I don't know at all
Don't even remember the last time that he called

How can we start all over
When we never began?
How can you be a father
You're not even a man
Why do you play these games?
Now you're in my head
You said you'd never leave me
But I left you instead
Oh God, what did I do to deserve this?
A man I never knew
A man I cannot miss
How can we start all over
How can we start all over
How can we start all over
How can we start all over
Dad
