Father & Son

Hello, it's me, your only son
 Writing to you now because I haven't seen you in so long
 Even though we live in the same home
 You're the father that I've never known
 I get up each day, you're already gone
 Drive past your office late at night
 And see the light still on
 Why do you care more about your job
 Than about the family falling apart?
 Don't even know you
 Can't understand you
 Never stopped to think of anyone else
 ♪
 Hello, my boy, your letter hurt me so
 18 years I've worked so hard, while I missed seeing you grow
 I was just trying to provide for you
 All my efforts thrown back in my face
 Every morning I'd say a prayer for you
 As I lose another day making it the best for you
 Someday you'll wake up and you'll realize
 And you'll thank me for how hard I tried
 Don't even know you
 Can't understand you
 Never stopped to think of anyone else
 ♪
 It's always been about you
 But I'm a person too
 I feel like giving up
 I've had about enough
 ♪
 Don't even know you
 Can't understand you
 Never stopped to think of anyone else
 
 I gave up more for you than you'll ever understand
 But you were never there for me when life went bad
 Son, I always tried to give you all the things I never had
 But all I ever wanted was a dad
