lyrics

You better be glad that you're not my dad because the dad I had's not for me.
You're wishing you were but that's so absurd because you were always dad to me.
I wish that I had said this all so many times before
I wish that you could see my face and know that I'm for sure
I really need to say
Today's your day

Then you wowed me by sticking right by my side through thick and thin
You showed me that you cared because you were always there, that's so cool.

So I'm wishing you a happy father's day

Air is something I need, but I don't need you
'Cause where were you when I made mistakes
It wasn't that fair but now I just don't care
Because I had a choice to make

It's not because of attitudes that tore us both apart
Not because of alcohol which is where it got its start
I really need to stay far away

You can wow me by flashing some dollars signs but that can't last
You left me unprepared leaving me in deep despair with your ways

So I'm wishing you a happy father's day

I am not surprised that you weren't there to see the day that I had grown into a man
There is no disguise that you can wear to hide the years of scars that you have left behind
I don't want excuses for things you've done
To your own son
I'm done crying, I'm done trying
It's time to move on
