My Dad's not dead,
so the pain is not comparableMy Dad's not dead,
but he still won't be at my weddingMy Dad's not dead,
and I don't know what that's like.My Dad's not dead,
but I still grieve this person who is alive.My Dad's not dead,
and I know it's not the same loss.My Dad's not dead,
but he will never know my children.My Dad's not dead,
but it would be easier if he was.
