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 triedDon't even know you
Can't understand you
Never stopped to think of anyone elseIt's always been about you (about you)
But I'm a person too (I'm a person too)
I feel like giving up
I've had about enoughDon'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
