I can't tell whether I'm sorry or just ****** The only thing I know is that I surely won't be missed, At least not by you dad, at least not by you, And hell ain't it sad that all I ever seem to do Is disappoint you time and again, Always just a failure, a boy amongst men, Forever looked down on from you so high above, All I ever wanted was my fathers love, I heard those words maybe once, maybe twice, "I'm proud of you son" They gripped my heart like a vice, But those days are past and mine are now numbered, I'm sorry I couldn't be the son that you'd always wanted... I wonder do you hate me? I think I might hate you, But it's not your fault, I know that to be true, As I know that my bloods red and my feelings are a kaleidoscope of blue, I fell when you pushed me, where the son you wanted would have flew, And I'm so sincerely sorry I ever did this to you... I wonder if you'll visit me, when I am just a gravestone, I don't hold out much hope, it was never really my home, I was just a stranger, you didn't care to know, And despite how much I wish you would I never once let it show... I'm gonna wrap this up 'coz I hear your car on the driveway, A good thing too as I'm almost out of things to say, I don't know what's next, I'm a doubtful atheist, I guess It'd be a waste of time if I prayed to a god that don't exist...

Dear Dad
I can't tell whether I'm sorry or just ****** The only thing I know is that I surely won't be missed, At least not by you dad, at least not by you, And hell ain't it sad that all I ever seem to do Is disappoint you time and again, Always just a failure, a boy amongst men, Forever looked down on from you so high above, All I ever wanted was my fathers love, I heard those words maybe once, maybe twice, "I'm proud of you son" They gripped my heart like a vice, But those days are past and mine are now numbered, I'm sorry I couldn't be the son that you'd always wanted... I wonder do you hate me? I think I might hate you, But it's not your fault, I know that to be true, As I know that my bloods red and my feelings are a kaleidoscope of blue, I fell when you pushed me, where the son you wanted would have flew, And I'm so sincerely sorry I ever did this to you... I wonder if you'll visit me, when I am just a gravestone, I don't hold out much hope, it was never really my home, I was just a stranger, you didn't care to know, And despite how much I wish you would I never once let it show... I'm gonna wrap this up 'coz I hear your car on the driveway, A good thing too as I'm almost out of things to say, I don't know what's next, I'm a doubtful atheist, I guess It'd be a waste of time if I prayed to a god that don't exist...
