Father, father, tell me: where have you been? It's been hell not having you here. I've been missing you so bad and you don't even care. When I go to sleep at night, you're not there. When I go to sleep at night, do you care? Do you even miss us? Your bottles, your mistress... I need to know. Why are you walking away? Was it something I did? Did I make a mistake because I'm trying to deal with the pain. I don't understand this! Is this how it ends? I will try to understand.
             Father, father, tell me: Where are you now? It's been hell not having you. Last time I heard, you were fed up and skipping town 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? I need to know. Why are you running away? Was it something I did? Did I make a mistake because I'm trying to deal with the pain. I don't understand this! Is this how it ends? Why are you running away? I don't understand this! Is this how it ends! Tell me, please. I need to know!
            Is this what you call a family? It's been seven years wishing you'd drop a line. I carry the thought along with you in my mind. Is this what you call a family? Why are you walking away? Was it something I did? Did I make a mistake because I'm trying to deal with the pain. I don't understand this! Is this how it ends? Why are you running away? I don't understand this! Is this how it ends? Why are you running away? Tell me, please! I need to know!

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?
