In absentia Video (MV)

Let me start by saying this
It gets hard to reminisce
On any good memory
When it had to get to this (ay ay ay)
So give me a minute
Let me jump right in it
You'll always be a part of me
But that part is weighing heavily
It would really mean a lot to me
If I just got an apology
For things I didn't deserve
How could you downplay my worth?
Like "I'm sorry sweety
Didn't mean to hurt you bad
I've been hurt growing up
Never learned to be a dad
I wasn't who you needed me to be
Daddy's sorry sweety"
You'll always be a part of me
But that part is weighing heavily
It would really mean a lot to me
If I just got an apology
For never calling first
For never being heard
Thought I was your baby girl
You would protect me from the world
Boy, I must have been so wrong
So I toughened up, became strong
Without you
Damn, I never really thought
I'd do it without you (hey)
You'll always be a part of me
But that part is weighing heavily
It would really mean a lot to me
If I just got an apology
For letting things get worse (for letting things get worse)
Want me to believe it doesn't hurt (when it definitely hurts)
