InDirections – Relinquished lyrics

Dear father, I hope you get this
Before time runs out
And I hope you know that
All the bottles you wasted your life on
Maybe you'll see the boy that you have raised
The one that you walked out on
So long ago
So long ago

How does it feel to have nothing?
How does it feel to be caged in like an animal?
The only bond we'll have is through thick glass
It's hard to even call you father
Without choking on my words
Was one pill worth it all
To lose it all?
We gave you open arms
But it wasn't good enough
(But it wasn't good enough)

Why is it so damn hard
To get through to you? (to you)
You left us broken (you left us broken)
Don't worry, mother is doing just finewe are doing just fine without you
We don't need you anymore
We are doing just fine without you

When I was down you weren't there
When I needed you you weren't there
So who are you now (so who are you now)
To me? (to me)
Hopefully you'll know
What it feels like when someone turns their back
On you

Dear father, I hope you get this
Before time runs out
And I hope you get this
And I hope (and I hope)
And I hope you get this
And I hope (and I hope)
And I hope

Why is it so damn hard
To get through to you? (to you)
You left us broken (you left us broken)

Don't worry, mother is doing just fine
We are doing just fine without you
We don't need you anymore
We are doing just fine without you

I hope you get this message
I hope you understand
This meaning of what I'm trying to say
I hope you get this message
Of what I'm trying to say
I hope you understand
My meaning
