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
