Amends w/ Full Band

Lyrics

Dear Dad I'm writing you this letter I hope you'll understand Its hard to talk when we're face to face There's so much I need to say It takes two I'm not blaming you We just couldn't compromise Dad I love you even though I didn't show it You never ever left my heart I miss you Dad I hope that you believe me I want to make amends I need to make amends I know I messed up along the way The miles I put between us I didn't always make it home for Christmas Sometimes I didn't call I was wrong I'm so sorry I guess the silence says it all Dad I love you even though I didn't show it You never ever left my heart I miss you Dad I hope that you believe me I want to make amends I need to make amends I wish I'd taken time to know you Then I would know myself When I see a child, now I understand How lonely you must have felt Dad I love you even though I didn't show it You never ever left my heart I miss you Dad I hope that you believe me I want to make amends I need to make amends
