Forever Yours

Dear father, dear father, where are you? I can't seem to recall your face Mom says that you've gone to go die alone, while I suffer in this hell ridden place Are you selfish because you're not listening? Are you blind because you don't understand? Dear Father it's me who's asking for your sympathy for I have no more room left to stand. Well I sat in the driveway for hours For months, and for days, and for years with no end Well I sat by the phone, sent letter to the unknown, In hopes that one day I'd see you again Dear Father, why can't I see you? Your name's not existent on this tongue anymore Your face is just a shade, while your voice it still plays, on that record box that says forever yours Dear daughter, dear daughter, I hear you Though this voice is a fragment of your younger days when the sky was still bright And everything still seemed right Till they took that damn sunshine away I cry every time that I see you In the pictures I have from oh so long ago Well I tried hard to fight So everyday I'd say goodnight And good morning, I love you, don't let go Well your father did try so hard to be there My love still exists in everyday that you age But they that I'm a deadbeat, a bum, and a drunk, and there's no room for that on life's stage Dear daughter I wish that I could see you But I went to go straighten my shitty life out just for yours Went to school, got a job, to learn how not to be a slob Do you have that record box that says forever yours? Oh the day, oh the days keep on passing Well I have no Idea what I god damn father is I can't remember mine, but I guess that it's fine Because it seems to me like he hates his kid Well I said that I would wait forever But that was for some other man One who sang he'd be there, and who swore that he cared, but isn't so I've finally washed my hands No more waiting, nor hoping, or dreaming No more clinging to your stupid, frivolous things Well I've thrown them away to grow up and go play So in the trash is where your record box sings Well dear father, I cannot see you But it's not in my interest to care anymore Well I hate you I swear, I'm alone and I'm scared So I saved that record box that says forever yours My honey, my Valkyrie, my daughter Your mother has finally called Our contacts had been lost, and so for hours we fought But are arguments have finally been resolved It's finally so good to hear you Well I have so many stories to tell you So many pictures, and books, and songs to be heard I have millions for you that I saved up, yes it's true And swear I'll make it home you have my word Well it's finally so good to hear you You've grown up to be quite a beautiful girl Your mom sent me a photo and I can't help but cry Because darlin' you're my whole entire world Dear daughter, I'm sorry to tell you For you be seeing me anymore For my car did a flip, while I was going 96 So my body has covered the floor Well I hope that you never forget me And I hope that you don't forget that you were loved and that's for sure I know you'll get my things, and I know you'll hear me sing on that record box that says forever Record box that says forever, record box that says forever yours
