Hey Dad, where you been for so long?
Why won't you look at me?
Is there something wrong?

Do you remember me,
the son that you conceived?
Why won't you look at me?
A son that you deceived

Oh God, what did I do to deserve this?
A man I never knew
A man I cannot miss

I gave you many chances,
many that you took
And now I stand before you
You won't even look

How can we start all over
when we never began?
How can you be a father
When you're not even a man?

Why do you play these games?
That are in my head
You said you'd love me dearly
but it looks like he's dead

Oh God, what did I do to deserve this?
A man I never knew
A man I cannot miss

How can we start all over
when we never began?
How can you be a father
When you're not even a man?

Why do you play these games?
That are in my head
You said you'd love me dearly
but it looks like he's dead
(hey dad, hey dad)

So then came kids of my own
I was there for them
I am the man you couldn't be
(I didn't learn from him)

Where he is, I don't know at all
I don't even remember
The last time he called

How can we start all over
when we never began?
How can you be a father
When you're not even a man?

Why do you play these games?
That are in my head
You said you'd love me dearly
but it looks like he's dead

Oh God, what did I do to deserve this?
A man I never knew
A man I cannot miss

How can we start all over?
How can we start all over?
How can we start all over?
How can we start all over?
Hey Dad
