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 all right?      but we’re all right   we’re all right      chorus:   it’s been a long hard road without you by my side   why weren’t you there all the nights that we cried   you broke my mother’s heart   you broke your children for life   it’s not ok,    but we’re all right   I remember the days, you were a hero in my eyes   but those were 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 that I’m still alive      the days I spent so cold, so hungry   were full of hate   I was so angry   those scars run deep inside this tattooed body   there’s things I’ll take, to my grave   but I’m okay   I’m okay      chorus:    it’s been a long hard road without you by my side   why weren’t you there all the nights that we cried   you broke my mother’s heart   you broke your children for life   it’s not ok,    but we’re all right   I remember the days, you were a hero in my eyes   but those were just a long lost memory of mine   Now, I’m writing just to let you know that I’m still alive   yeah, I’m still alive      sometimes…   I forgive   yeah and this time   I’ll admit   that I miss you, said I miss you      Chorus:    it’s been a long hard road without you by my side   why weren’t you there all the nights that we cried   you broke my mother’s heart   you broke your children for life   it’s not ok,    but we’re all right   I remember the days, you were a hero in my eyes   but those were just a long lost memory of mine   Now, I’m writing just to let you know that were still alive      and sometimes   I forgive   and this time   I’ll admit, that I miss you, miss you   hey dad
