[Hook]
He left you sittin' on the floor, crying in the bedroom
Then you took the f**in' phone and threw it in the bathroom
When it broke against the wall, that's when momma cursed you, dad
I was little when he called you on the phone
Didn't let me know that he was never home
Even though I had you, ma, I always felt alone
Dad, tell me when you ever think of comin' home
[Repeats 2x]
[Verse 1]
I don't know why I lie
I guess it's ‘cause I'm human. And we're all afraid to die
You pra'ly won't admit, but I see it in your eyes
We count up all these million
And we get all in our feelin'
And we tell'em that we're chillin'
To forget we're gonna die

[Verse 2]
I ain't gon' say you were bad
You weren't the best dad
Third grade, remember when you picked me up from cla**
Now I'm askin'
Tell me what's up?
One thing we have in common, is were common failure f**-ups
Oh, did I cuss you? I didn't mean to
Where you been, dad? It's been minute since I seen you
Was like, the 6th grade since the last time I seen you
Was like, eight years ago you took me to the venue
Eatin' at McDonald's, you was looking at the menu
To make me feel better, I even just pretend you-- (Yeah!)
Don't exist. Sometimes I'm really pissed
And I wonder why you left
Disappearing in the mist
Where you at?
You gotta car?
Are you near?
Or are you far?
All the questions that I ask when I'm looking at the stars (Yeah!)
