Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Father, I'm gonna say thank you
Even if I'm still hurt
Oh, I'm gonna say bless you
I wanna mean those words
[Verse 2]
Always wished you the best
I, I prayed for your peace
Even if you started this
This whole war in me
[Verse 3]
You did your best, or did you?
Sometimes I think I hate you
I'm sorry, dad, for feelin' this
I can't believe I'm sayin' it
I know you were a troubled man
I know you never got the chance
To be yourself, to be your best
I hope that heaven's given you
A second chance
[Verse 4]
Father, I'm gonna say thank you
Even if I don't understand
Oh, you left us alone
I guess that made me who I am
[Verse 5]
Always wished you the best
I, I, I pray for your peace
Even if you started this
This whole war in me
[Verse 6]
You did your best, or did you?
Sometimes I think I hate you
I'm sorry, dad, for feelin' this
I can't believe I'm sayin' it
I know you were a troubled man
I know you never got the chance
To be yourself, to be your best
I hope that heaven's given you
[Verse 7]
(You did your best, or did you?)
Sometimes I think I hate you
I'm sorry, dad, for feelin' this
I can't believe I'm sayin' it
I know you were a troubled man
I know you never got the chance
To be yourself, to be your best
I hope that heaven's given you
A second chance
