Hey dad
I'm writing to you
not to tell you, that I still hate you
just to ask you
how you feel
and how we fell apart
how this fell apart
are you happy out there in this great wide world?
do you think about your sons?
do you miss your little girl?
when you lay your head down
how do you sleep at night?
do you even wonder if we're all right?
but we're all right
we're all right
chorus:
it's been a long hard road without you by my side
why weren't you there all the nights that we cried
you broke my mother's heart
you broke your children for life
it's not ok,
but we're all right
I remember the days, you were a hero in my eyes
but those were just a long lost memory of mine
I spent so many years learning how to survive
Now, I'm writing just to let you know that I'm still alive
the days I spent so cold, so hungry
were full of hate
I was so angry
those scars run deep inside this tattooed body
there's things I'll take, to my grave
but I'm okay
I'm okay
chorus:
it's been a long hard road without you by my side
why weren't you there all the nights that we cried
you broke my mother's heart
you broke your children for life
it's not ok,
but we're all right
I remember the days, you were a hero in my eyes
but those were just a long lost memory of mine
Now, I'm writing just to let you know that I'm still alive
yeah, I'm still alive
sometimes…
I forgive
yeah and this time
I'll admit
that I miss you, said I miss you
Chorus:
it's been a long hard road without you by my side
why weren't you there all the nights that we cried
you broke my mother's heart
you broke your children for life
it's not ok,
but we're all right
I remember the days, you were a hero in my eyes
but those were just a long lost memory of mine
Now, I'm writing just to let you know that were still alive
and sometimes
I forgive
and this time
I'll admit, that I miss you, miss you
hey dad

I am gonna say this again, as I do with other slower songs, that this one made me cry.. I cry a lot with songs, but... The lyrics to this one are really strong. I heard Benji cried when he wrote it. I would, too.

My thought on this song is dat it's a reeally good song that sets an example on Benji and Joel's complicated lives. I cry everytime hearing it because for a lot of kids out there it helps them feel alot better.

I'm one of those kids who relate. In my case, it was more that i grew up than daddy changed, but still... i agree with PinkJelly, too.

I love this song...it makes me cry each time I hear it. It holds such emotion behind the lyrics and you can hear that Joel really means what he is singing. That is what makes great music.

Makes me want to include a 20minute delayed bomb timed to the opening of the letter, just to make sure dad reads it before hes spread over half the city.
