Hi Dad…
I often wonder why you left out the blue
You left like I meant nothing to you
I’m not gonna’ lie I’m pretty outraged

You walked out my life like you were running a race
I finally realize why you have gone
You aren’t man enough to fix the wrongs you have done

I’m not gonna’ lie I’m pretty outraged
You think I didn’t know Mom was the one putting food on our plates
I saw you hit mom and I lost all respect
You’re just like a boy who hasn’t grown up yet
You wine and you cry like you never had a chance
But all you need to do is put on your big boy pants

I’m not gonna’ lie I’m pretty outraged
You call yourself a father?
Don’t even bother
You left me with marks and so much more
You left me alone, crying and torn
If you call that a father, good job dad, you deserve an award

I’m not gonna’ lie I’m pretty outraged
I did all I could to get you to stay
But you chose alcohol so now you have to pay
You’re like a little boy trying to find his way

I’m not gonna’ lie I’m pretty outraged
I’ll be more successful than you’ll ever be
Make lots of money and that’s a guarantee
Don’t ask you none because it all belongs to me

I’m not gonna’ lie I’m pretty outraged
How long will it take for you to understand
It’s time to stop playing and be freaking man
Stop acting like a bum
You need to be hit until your body's numb

I’m not gonna’ lie I’m pretty outraged
You caused all this pain in my little heart
All I ask of you is stop tearing me apart
Cuz after all that you’ve done
I still manage to say
I hope I wake up and see you again some day
And for some silly reason I still love you today
Goodbye Dad...
