Daddy, take the long way home,
Tell me things about you that I don't know.
I love the look on your face when I remind you,
Of how you left me alone.
Your eyes are heavy,
Like you want to give up already.
I'll hold you here,
I'll hold you near.
Daddy, take me to the river where we cry,
Let me torture you and ask you why,
Don't run away, we're not finished here.
I want to see your face when you lie.
Your voice is low,
We're sad and I already know,
You're consumed with fear,
You're afraid they'll hear.
Daddy, don't get in that car,
I know once you do you'll drive pretty far.
Just confront it, you're not alone,
We can fight this war.
But your will is weak,
You start to freak,
Get away and leave me here,
Look back and watch me sink.
