Stated by Matt in some live shows, Frank is referring to Kim’s father and the sacrifices he made for her to have a great life.
She grew up in a house made of porcelain, crystal glass
Her brother left a year ago, sister one and a half
Mother is a name at best, step-father was a mess
The ingredients were wrong, but Dad you saved us all
[Chorus]
So now I say
Hey Dad I learned this all from you
I must have won this time
Say
Hey Dad I learned this all from you
I must have won this time, this time
Working late and losing lunch while waking up and standing out
She never knew this all tasted so good when it was hot
And everything that she saw on TV
And everything that you wanted to be
And he abandoned his dreams
So she could go to sleep and have her own
Hey Dad
I tried so hard
[Chorus]
