lyrics

dad

and I want to forget
and I want to forgive you
to forgive you

well I was born among it
and I watched it die
but my silent cry
couldn’t break through their wall
they couldn’t hear my call

I asked him and he told me
that he didn’t really love
and I cried that night
and I cried that night
he never tucks me in anymore

I miss the smelled when we’d
when we’d watch the football games
and he’d curse the player’s names

he’d ask me if I loved him
and I said that I did
I always looked up to him
and we laughed all night
we laughed all night
but he never tucks me in anymore

the last time I talked to him
I was just fourteen
so grown up it seemed
but I needed him
he told me that he’d find himself
another family to love
and I asked him if he loved me
but he didn’t understand
he didn’t understand
and he never tucks me in anymore

and I want to forget
and I want to forgive you
to forgive you

and I will
cause I did it without you
you’d be so proud of me
if you could be
and I still love you
but I’ve let go now
but I’ve let go now
and I’m at peace and I hope
you are too
you are too
