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 okay
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
Those scars run deep inside this tattooed body
There’s things I’ll take to my grave
But I’m okay
I’m okay

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 okay
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
Yeah, I’m still alive

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 okay
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 we're still alive

And sometimes
I forgive
And this time
I’ll admit
That I miss you
Miss you
