BINX - Letters To My Dad

Copied!

Painted my nails black
You liked that
And loved mom
Really liked Jack
Why'd you act like that
I'm angry
Writing letters to you dad

Give anything to have you back
We could have a big fat chat
I was counting on you
Were you a werewolf
Changed with the moon

Oh woah where'd you go
Took another trip to the bottom of the bottle
Oh we couldn't get close
You left that's right
I hit rock bottom
What's gone's always there
I miss you and no nobody cares
Come back
And I'll write you a letter dad
Maybe even watch another rock show

Sipping on Friesland
Wondering
How different
Things could have been
I've been looking back
Yeah it hurts
Trying to address the past
Give anything to sit with you
And watch your favorite cartoons
Stormed out of every room
Still any time
Would have been too soon

Oh woah where'd you go
Took another trip to the bottom of the bottle
Oh we couldn't get close
You left that's right
I hit rock bottom
What's gone's always there
I miss you and no nobody cares
Come back
And I'll write you a letter dad
Maybe even watch another rock show

Oh woah uh oh
Maybe even watch another rock show
Oh woah hey
Oh woah uh oh
Maybe even watch another rock show
Oh woah
Oh woah
Oh no
Oh no oh no where did where did I go
Oh no oh no oh no where is where is my glow

Oh woah where'd you go
Took another trip to the bottom of the bottle (to the bottom of the bottle)
Oh we couldn't get close
You left that's right
I hit rock bottom
What's gone's always there
I miss you and no nobody cares (no nobody cares)
Come back
And I'll write you a letter dad
Maybe even watch another rock show

Oh woah
Maybe play a song by The Rolling Stones
The Killers The Clash Queen or The Ramones
Maybe even watch another rock show oh
Oh no oh no

Oh woah
Maybe watch an episode of Flintstones (maybe even watch another rockshow)
Maybe not push pain down with alcohol
Maybe even watch another rock show oh
Oh no oh no
Woah
Maybe say something mad sorry I spoke
Maybe pop a Wilson's cream caramel
Maybe even watch another rock show oh
Maybe even watch another rock show oh
Maybe even watch another rock show oh
