Zitro
My Dad
[Verse 1]
How different would I be now
If during recent years you were still around
I gave up on making you proud
So I'd never get dwell on the “if’s” in my list of questions
You've got to start your life over
It didn’t include your flesh and blood
Afraid to find out what it looks like
Cause my prediction could just be right

[Hook]
Every child needs his father
You can’t do it on your own
Take in every moment
You’ll never know when you’ll be alone
Every child needs his father
A boys gotta be a man
And I’m still not there yet
I hope I see him while I still can
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you

[Verse 2]
We developed old photos
From ten plus years ago
Of barbecues and ball games, how it changed
Who’s to blame?
I understand what you had to do, but I haven't seen the sight of you
I just wanted one time, one day, one weekend
And just when you think that I’m in the state of recovery
I have those photographs to remind me how things used to be
I’m glad you held on as long as you did
But I haven’t grown up
And I’m still a child
[Hook]
Every child needs his father
You can’t do it on your own
Take in every moment
You’ll never know when you’ll be alone
Every child needs his father
A boys gotta be a man
And I’m still not there yet
I hope I see him while I still can, yeah
This is the end
Awaiting catastrophe
Noticeable stain
On even the first world

This is a trip, borderline fantasy
One giant scar on our boys and girls

[Hook]
Every child needs his father
You can’t do it on your own
Take in every moment
You’ll never know when you’ll be alone
Every child needs his father
(Let's catch up on old times)
A boys gotta be a man
(Before we run out of time)
And I’m still not there yet
('cause you know time does go on)
I hope I see him while I still can
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you
[Outro]
Father, father, father, father
