I'm better off without you
Sewing my heart back together
Took too long
But it's finally mended

I remember when you left
Without a word
Without a glance back
You just walked out the door
and was gone
Out of our life's for good
Your never came back
We never heard from you again

I started to worry 'bout you
Then realized there was no point
in even crying

Thanks for leaving don't come back
We don't need you anymore
We can survive without you, father!
