[Verse 1]
Empty chair at every birthday feast
Ghost in the photos a silent beast
Momma said he went to find his way
Never looked back not even a single day
[Chorus]
Oh daddy dearest where did you go
Left a little girl watching the seeds you sow
Heard you had sons heard they had your name
I got a scar got a burning flame
[Verse 2]
Learned to parallel park on my own street
Graduated top of my class felt bittersweet
First kiss first fight first time I cried
You were a whisper a truth denied
[Chorus]
Oh daddy dearest where did you go
Left a little girl watching the seeds you sow
Heard you had sons heard they had your name
I got a scar got a burning flame
[Bridge]
Heard you blame her for all the mess
Guess that’s easier than a real address
Easy to point easy to flee
Hard to face the girl that grew up to be me
[Chorus]
Oh daddy dearest where did you go
Left a little girl watching the seeds you sow
Heard you had sons heard they had your name
I got a scar got a burning flame
