Dear Father

What kind of man puts his hands on the one he loves
Try to explain that to your God above
Everything you've done won't simply go away
I refuse to be sculpted from your clay
I'll always wonder what I did wrong
And why this torture went on for too long

Father, oh my father, have you no honor
You've broken this home
Father, you were no father, you made life harder
I'm better alone

I'm just damaged goods
Who was never good enough for you
You raised your fists when we couldn't fight back
Leaving our skin marked in blue and black
You made me ask if it's worth progression
'Cause you couldn't control your aggression

Father, oh my father, have you no honor
You've broken this home
Father, you were no father, you made life harder
I'm better alone

So what if I look broken
I refuse to heed the lies you've spoken

Father, oh my father, have you no honor
You've broken this home
Father, you were no father, you made life harder
I'm better alone
