Dear Dad

I know we're completely different And we sometimes disagree But I just want you to notice The man I'm growing to be Everything I accomplished I dedicated to you I hoped you might smile at me And say son I'm proud of you I did everything you said I want to hold my head high Dad I want to be just like you But you don't see the light You think she's all wrong for me And she's bringing me down But you never stopped to think If it was the other way around But she doesn't see it that way She always blames herself She hates that she's come between us Dad she hates that she let you down You don't know anything about her You're only focusing on the negative No one knows what we've been through And our big plans on makin it You think she doesn't have ambition But you don't know her hopes and dreams You don't know that feeling I get when she's with me And dad, she's so smart Like a walking dictionary You don't know how hard It is to believe that she chose me But here's what will get you It knocked me off my feet She respects and admires you Reveres you even, despite everything I know we made a few mistakes Probably not our last Though be both know how nineteen feel And together we're learning fast So dad I'm now a man Someday I'll have my own family I'm proud of who I am And the woman that stands by me See I love you. You're my dad. And I love her. She's my heart. If we don't focus on the past I think we could have a fresh start I want everyone to know And I want her to someday see This man here that I know Is the man I want to be.
