Dad, I hate to tell ya
Sometimes I wanna slap you in the face
But dad, I gotta tell ya
If you were gone I'd miss you from this place

Don't go away again, I just wanna be your friend
And if I don't say this now, I'm gonna be sorry
Don't wanna make the same mistake again

Dad, I need to tell ya
Sometimes I wanna walk right out the door
Dad, I'm gonna tell ya
Glad that we don't argue like before

Don't go away again, I just wanna be your friend
And if I don't say this now, I'm gonna be sorry
Don't wanna make the same mistake again

Dad, I need to tell ya
Sometimes it's hard to show you how I feel
Dad, I'm gonna tell ya
I wish that all our differences weren't real

Don't go away again, I just wanna be your friend
And if I don't say this now, I'm gonna be sorry
Don't wanna make the same mistake again

I see, the older that I get, I'm becoming you
I see, the older that I get, I'm becoming, I'm becoming you

Dad, I wanna tell ya
I just wanna take away your pain
