  • Father, father, tell me where have you been?
    Its been hell not having you here
    I've been missing you so bad
    And you don't seem to care
    When I go to sleep at night, you're not there
    When I go to sleep at night, do you care?

    Do you even miss us?
    Your bottles and mistress
    I need to know, I need to know
    Why are you walking away?
    Was it something I did?

    Did I make a mistake cause
    I'm trying to deal with the pain
    I don't understand this, is this how it ends?
    I will try to understand

    Father, father, tell me where are you now?
    Its been hell not having you
    Last thing I heard, you were fed up, you're skipping town
    With no note telling where
    When I go to sleep at night, you're not there
    When I go to sleep at night, do you care?

    I need to know, I need to know
    Why are you walking away?
    Was it something I did?
    Did I make a mistake cause
    I'm trying to deal with the pain
    I don't understand this, is this how it ends?
    I will try to understand

    Why are you running away?
    I don't understand this, is this how it ends?
    Why are you running away?
    Tell me please, tell me please, I need to know

    Is this what you call a family?
    Is this what you call a family?
    Is this what you call a family?
    Is this what you call a family?

    It's been seven years wishing that you'd drop a line
    But I carry the thought along with you in my mind
    Is this what you call a family?
    Is this what you call a family?
    Family

    Why are you walking away?
    Was it something I did?
    Did I make a mistake cause
    I'm trying to deal with the pain
    I don't understand this, is this how it ends?

    Why are you running away?
    I don't understand this, is this how it ends?
    Why are you running away?
    Tell me please, tell me please, I need to know

    Is this what you call a family?
    Is this what you call a family?
    Is this what you call a family?
    Is this what you call a family? Writer/s: Jack Fowler, Jesse Lawson, Justin Hills, Kellin Bostwick, William Barham

  • Hailey Bryan from UtahWow... I had no idea that Kellin went through that. It reminds me of my own childhood. Did anyone else hear pain in his voice when he says "It's been seven years wishing that you'd drop a line"? Anyway, Love SWS
