FATHER Lyrics

Father, did you ever really love me

Cause I remember when I was a kid in 6th grade

And you told me that Boy Scouts was your mother's job

You didn't ever want to go with me again

You didn't like the father-son retreat

And I wondered, did you love me

Did you really ever want me

I couldn't tell, you never showed me

You never told me, I felt like you just didn't want me

So why did you verbally abuse me

Why did you control me

For most of my life

What was it about

Was it really my fault

Or was it something inside

Your sick and twisted mind

I think it's you, it was always you

It was always inside

Your broken little mind

Why did you do it

Why did you say those things you said

Why did you head butt me

Why did you hate me

Why did you threaten me with a knife

Why did you almost try to kill me

With a knife to my throat

Why did you do any of it

I just want to know

Father, can you tell me

Can you tell me

Father, can you tell me

Was it all worth the plan

Was it all worth it

Cause I don't think so

I don't think so

I can't believe in you

You're just a loser in my eyes

And I don't want to be like you

And I don't want to be like you

And I don't want to be like you

Because it cut so deep
