Don’t you remember who was there?
When you weren’t
Don’t you remember who picked you up?
When you were drunk

Say, how many times she played that role that
You were supposed to do as a dad
How many times she waited you at home, when you were wandering out there

You brought darkness upon our clearest blue
You brought tears to our eyes, when we were worried about you
You turned your back and left us to collect dust
You turned your back for those who loved you most

All you had to do was say goodbye
You could have just run away
Everyone deserves another chance to try
Don’t we all make mistakes?
But after all she tried, couldn’t you just make it right?
You didn't have everything you wanted?
So why?
Why did you make her cry?

I remember who was there
When you weren’t
All of these years she was there for you
Did you even care?
She gave us our wings and she taught us how
She’s the sweetest person I know there is no doubt
And even thought you made it so hard
She was there waiting for you, with her open arms

All you had to do was say goodbye
You could have just run away
Everyone deserves another chance to try
Don’t we all make mistakes?
But after all she tried, couldn’t you just make it right?
You didn't have everything you wanted?
So why?
Why did you make her cry?

Runaway, oh try
Please go away and cry
Please go away and leave everything behind

All you had to do was say goodbye
You could have just run away
Everyone deserves another chance to try
Don’t we all make mistakes?
But after all she tried, couldn’t you just make it right?
You didn't have everything you wanted?
So why?
Why did you make her cry?
