Father, father, tell me where have you been?
It's been hell not having you here
You thought I didn't notice you pack your bags and walk out the front door without saying goodbye.
I've been missing you so bad
And you don't seem to care
When I go to sleep at night, you're not there
When I go to sleep at night, do you care?
But I did.
Do you even miss us?
Your bottle's your mistress
I need to know, I need to know
I always kept wondering why you left. I wanted to know the answer.
Why are you walking away?
Was it something I did?
Did I make a mistake cause
I'm trying to deal with the pain
I don't understand this, is this how it ends?
I will try to understand
Years have gone by.
Father, father, tell me where are you now?
It's been hell not having you
Last thing I heard, you were fed up, you're skipping town
I have step siblings.
With no note telling where
When I go to sleep at night, you're not there
When I go to sleep at night, do you care?
There's a new man in the house.
I need to know, I need to know
He's my new dad.
Why are you walking away?
Was it something I did?
Did I make a mistake cause
I'm trying to deal with the pain
I don't understand this, is this how it ends?
My step-dad.
Why are you running away?
I don't understand this, is this how it ends?
Why are you running away?
Tell me please, tell me please, I need to know
I feel alone. Trapped.
Is this what you call a family?
Is this what you call a family?
Is this what you call a family?
Is this what you call a family?
Mom notices me sometimes.
Spent seven years wishing that you'd drop the line
But I carry the thought along with you in my mind
But is this what you call a family?
Is this what you call a family?
Family!
No one notices that I'm slowly being broken up into so many pieces.
Why are you walking away?
Was it something I did?
Did I make a mistake cause
I'm trying to deal with the pain
I don't understand this, is this how it ends?
Why did you leave me?! You promised you wouldn't and you broke that promise!
Why are you running away?
I don't understand this, is this how it ends?
Why are you running away?
Tell me please, tell me please, I need to know
I keep thinking that you will come back and everything will go back to normal.
Is this what you call a family?
Is this what you call a family?
Is this what you call a family?
Is this what you call a family?
I miss you a lot dad. I love you so much.
I wished for you to come home every time my birthday came around.
But, I started to realize you weren't coming back.
And I gave up.
Gave up on believing.
Gave up on YOU.
