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 this same mistake again



Dad, I need to tell ya

Sometimes I wanna walk right out the door

But Dad, I'm gonna tell ya

I'm 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 its 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
