hey dad,
im 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 the straight 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 im alive,
but we're alright,
we're alright.

CHORUS

its been a long hard road without you by my side,
why werent you there all the nights that we cried,
you broke my mothers heart, you broke your children's for life,
its not okay, 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,
ive spent so many years learning how to survive,
now im writin just to let you know im still alive.

Those days i spent so cold so hungry,
were full of hate, i was so angry,
The scars run deep inside this tatooed body,
there's things i'll take to my grave,
but im okay,
im okay.

its been a long hard road without you by my side,
why werent you there all the nights that we cried,
you broke my mothers heart, you broke you children for life,
its not okay, 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 im writin just to let you know im still alive,
and im still alive.

sometimes, i forgive,
yeah and this time, ill admit,
that i miss you,
said i miss you...............
