I wish I'd have died in your arms the last time we were together,

"Hello, it's me, your only son,
writing to you now because I haven't seen you in so long
even though we live in the same home.
You're the father that I've never known.
I get up each day, you're already gone.
Drive past your office late at nightm
and see the light still on.
Why do you care more about your job,
than about the family falling apart?"

"Hello, my boy, your letter hurt me so.
18 years I've worked so hard, while I missed seeing you grow.
I was just trying to provide for you.
All my efforts thrown back in my face.
Every morning I'd say a prayer for you,
as I lose another day making it the best for you.
Someday you'll wake up and you'll realize
and you'll thank me for how hard I've tried.
I gave up more for you than you'll ever understand"

"But you were never there for me when life went bad.."

"Son, I've always tried to give you all the things I never had."

"But all I ever wanted was a dad"

(i miss you!): come back safely yes!)
