Dear Dad

[Verse]
Dear dad your promises fell like leaves
You packed your bags and left us to grieve
A ghost at the dinner table you’d never stay
I was sixteen counting nights you threw away
[Prechorus]
Was it me was it her was it the weight
Tell me what made love evaporate
[Chorus]
You lied you lied I see it clear
You left me drowning in my tears
You lied you lied don’t try to pretend
I’m not your daughter I’m just loose ends
[Verse 2]
Birthday candles burned without your face
I made a wish for someone to take your place
A thousand postcards I wrote in my head
But your mailbox might as well be dead
[Prechorus]
Was it fear was it pride was it shame
Tell me why you left me with your name
[Chorus]
You lied you lied I see it clear
You left me drowning in my tears
You lied you lied don’t try to pretend
I’m not your daughter I’m just loose ends
