“Dear Father” is a song about the fact that Deryck Whibley, Sum 41’s lead singer, never met his father. It’s an open letter where he addresses his father’s absence throughout his life. Writing the song helped Whibley to deal with the scary issue of growing up without a father.
Dear Father Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Address this letter to Dear Father
I know you as complete unknown
I guess it's better you don't bother
All our truths should be left alone
[Pre-Chorus]
Be left alone, be left alone
[Verse 2]
I learned the things you never showed me
Took the chances you'd have blown
And to this day, the one and only
You remain a complete unknown
[Pre-Chorus]
Complete unknown, complete unknown
[Chorus]
You're out there somewhere, I don't know if you
Care at all, it seems that you don't
It's as if the day will never
Come, so you remain a complete unknown
[Post-Chorus]
Unknown, unknown, unknown, unknown
Unknown, unknown, unknown, unknown
[Verse 3]
So many years have been ignored
You've been gone without a trace
I'm getting used to knowing you're
Just a name without a face
[Pre-Chorus]
Without a face, without a face
[Chorus]
You're out there somewhere, I don't know if you
Care at all, it seems that you don't
It's as if the day will never
Come, so you remain a complete unknown
You're out there somewhere, I don't know if you
Care at all, it seems that you don't
It's as if the day will never
Come, so you remain a complete unknown
[Post-Chorus]
Unknown, unknown, unknown, unknown
Unknown, unknown, unknown, unknown
[Bridge]
Address this letter to Dear Father
I know you as complete unknown
I guess it's better you don't bother
All our truths should be left alone
[Chorus]
You're out there somewhere, I don't know if you
Care at all, it seems that you don't
It's as if the day will never
Come, so you remain a complete unknown
You're out there somewhere, I don't know if you
Care at all, it seems that you don't
It's as if the day will never
Come, so you remain a complete unknown
[Outro]
You're out there somewhere, I don't know if you care...
