Staring in the rearview mirror
Choices right or wrong
Is this just my reflection or a goodbye song
Bleeding, love's battlefield
She left never looking back
Leaving now you'll never know
You will reap what you sow
Spent my life chasing a ghost
Dear Dad
I owe nothing to you
I've learned to speak my truth
Despite it all, I won't fall
Dear Dad
I wasn't the one who left
Now who's missing who
Despite it all, I won't fall
Dear Dad
Chained within
My life was always sink or swim
Never good enough, I was bound
You lived on hoping not to be found
Reaching, when I'm on the edge
Promises that you never kept
Memories, scattered on the floor
You will reap what you sow
What a heartless man you could be
Dear Dad
I owe nothing to you
I've learned to speak my truth
Despite it all, I won't fall
Dear Dad
I wasn't the one who left
Now who's missing who
Despite it all, I won't fall
Dear Dad
Worth more than you've ever shown
Kids of my own, you'll never know
No regrets that bridge had burned
I've found peace and I have learned
To forgive but never forget
What a heartless man you could be
Dear Dad
I owe nothing to you
I've learned to speak my truth
Despite it all, I won't fall
Dear Dad
I wasn't the one who left
Now who's missing who
Despite it all, I won't fall
Dear Dad
