Relinquished

Dear father, I hope you get this

Before time runs out

And I hope you know that

All the bottles you wasted your life on

Maybe you'll see the boy that you have raised

The one that you walked out on

So long ago

So long ago

How does it feel to have nothing?

How does it feel to be caged in like an animal?

The only bond we'll have is through thick glass

It's hard to even call you father

Without choking on my words

Was one pill worth it all

To lose it all?

We gave you open arms

But it wasn't good enough

(But it wasn't good enough)

Why is it so damn hard

To get through to you? (to you)

You left us broken (you left us broken)

Don't worry, mother is doing just fineWe are doing just fine without you

We don't need you anymore

We are doing just fine without you

When I was down you weren't there

When I needed you you weren't there

So who are you now (so who are you now)

To me? (to me)

Hopefully you'll know

What it feels like when someone turns their back

On you

Dear father, I hope you get this

Before time runs out

And I hope you get this

And I hope (and I hope)

And I hope you get this

And I hope (and I hope)

And I hope

Why is it so damn hard

To get through to you? (to you)

You left us broken (you left us broken)

Don't worry, mother is doing just fine

We are doing just fine without you

We don't need you anymore

We are doing just fine without you

I hope you get this message

I hope you understand

This meaning of what I'm trying to say

I hope you get this message

Of what I'm trying to say

I hope you understand

My meaning
