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

But 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

And I'm still alive

Sometimes I forget

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 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 forget

This time I'll admit

That I miss you

I miss you

Hey dad
