Dad

And I want to forget
And I want to forgive you
To forgive you

Well I was born among it
And I watched it die
But my silent cry
Couldn’t break through their wall
They couldn’t hear my call

I asked him and he told me
That he didn’t really love
And I cried that night
And I cried that night
He never tucks me in anymore

I miss the smelled when we’d
When we’d watch the football games
And he’d curse the player’s names

He’d ask me if I loved him
And I said that I did
I always looked up to him
And we laughed all night
We laughed all night
But he never tucks me in anymore

The last time I talked to him
I was just fourteen
So grown up it seemed
But I needed him
He told me that he’d find himself
Another family to love
And I asked him if he loved me
But he didn’t understand
He didn’t understand
And he never tucks me in anymore

And I want to forget
And I want to forgive you
To forgive you

And I will
Cause I did it without you
You’d be so proud of me
If you could be
And I still love you
But I’ve let go now
But I’ve let go now
And I’m at peace and I hope
You are too
You are too
