Fathers - Commonwealth

And I miss when I didn’t know who you even were

Before my mother told me, she said this is your dad

Why not let him in?

And even though I shouldn’t have

I did, and now I know I won’t forget

I found my heart on the floor

For years I’ve pretended, I forgot who you were

I’ve been lying to myself because I didn’t want to care

And now you’re here to show your face again

My father, he never believed in me

Believed in you, believed in us or this family

And I, I wonder how it would’ve been

If my mother lied and told me you were dead

I let go of all securities

And I watched you leave this time

I hope it’s for good, not like the last

I may finally find closure

I want the door closed but you left it open

You told me it would be alright

I trusted you would leave this time

I just want to live my life

But you created a void

Between father and son

For the rest of my life

Gave you the benefit of the doubt when you didn’t deserve it

My father, he never believed in me

Believed in you, believed in us or this family

And I, I wonder how it would’ve been

If my mother lied and told me you were dead

I wish that she lied and told me that you were dead

I guess that I thought that I’d never see you again

I let go of my securities
