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 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 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
