[Verse]

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


[Verse]

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


[Chorus]

And 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


[Verse]

And I let go of all securities

And I watch 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


[Verse]

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


[Chorus]

And 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


[Outro]

I let go of my securities
