You were everything I wanted to be 
You were good, you were strong 
You were this perfect human being 
Even through the dark now I can see who you are 
You're just a sad old man who always broke his son's heart 

Hear me 
Don't need your love anymore 
Hear me 
I've done without it before 
I'll live without it 

You used to be so strong 
and now you're crippled by the bottle 
Well I'm just glad I grew up and never [bad word] followed 
Just used the brain in my head didn't even bother 
I'll live the rest of my life a son without a father 

Dear father can you hear me now?
