You've never met your dad, but you know your whole family
I'm sure if I knew mine, they'd treat me like I'm twelve again
That's who they remember
So what's the point in knowin' 'em
And even knowin' yours
'Sure you won't miss them controllin' ya
I've known my dad forever but he seems to forget me
Would've been better off never knowing him completely
He hasn't been here in a while, nor in his right mind
I hope he still remembers my name the next time I call to say 'hi'
Oh, ah
Oh, ah
Oh, ah
Oh, ah
Sure, I'll never talk, but I'll never let go
Every little word lingers and it shows
I know they don't like me, but they never got to know me
Last time that we talked I didn't have responsibility
My words can't mean anything when all they hear are cries
And that high-pitched little voice that asks if everything's alright
Been worried all my life-forced to be grown
And even now I write, and I let that worry show
Oh, ah
Oh, ah
Oh, ah
Oh, ah
