Drunk one day
you wrecked the car
beer in the console
pretending to be sober
mom yelled at you
could sense the pain
came home one day
and saw you left us
crying on the phone
it had been a month
just wanted to know why
don't know what you said
couldn't get past the tears
was never the same
when you came back
you tried to love Brian and I
but I could sense
that you didn't
no matter how much stuff you bought us
you have a family now
you love them in ways
you could never love us
I still love you dad
do you hear me?
I love you dad
I forgive you and I love you
and I know someday you will love me too
