She grew up in a house made of porcelain, crystal, glass

Her brother left a year ago

Sister one and a half

Mother is a name at best

Step farther was a mess

The ingredients were wrong

But dad you saved us all



So now I say

Hey dad I learned this all from you

I must have won this time

Say dad I learned this all from you

I must have won this time

This time



Working late and losing lunch

While waking up and standing out

She never knew this all tasted so good when it was hot

And everything that she saw on TV

And everything that you wanted to be

And he abandoned his dreams

So she could go to sleep and have her own



Hey dad, I tried so hard



I say hey dad I learned this all from you

I must have won this time

Say dad I learned this all from you

I must have won this time

This time
