Dads Song

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 son

do you miss my 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've broken me 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 broken 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've broken me 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've broken me 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

ya unfortunately how bad they treat us.........we still love them

First that was beautifully written,and it brought tears to my eyes,I have two boys your age who have been through pretty much the same thing.I know it's hard to understand,but I'm glad you can put your feelings into words,maybe someday he'll wake up. Just love and enjoy your little girl
