Hey there dad, it's been a long time It's been tough but yeah i guess I'm doing fine.... The reason that i haven't reached out to you and let all this time go by I always thought that the damage you caused to my mind would get better in time... But it's still eating at me, and I'm so dam tired of wondering why...... [Chorus] Why couldn't you just say i love you or at least showed you cared about me but instead, you chose to convince me that a piece of shit is all I'd ever be Was it because of the dad that raised you or was it because it was just me.... I just hope that you can hear me so you can "Explain this to me".. [Guitar] [2nd verse] The hate and the anger, that you embedded in me Makes it so dam hard for the people who try to care about me Because It's just so hard to find the care every time I try to find it, it just can't be found anywhere... So, what I'm needing for you to tell me is why would you want to do this to me. [Bridge] I just wish that you could tell me what it was about me that made it so dam easy for you to put those heavy hands on me It always made me wonder what made you want to beat up on me when I was just being the monster you helped me turn out to be So can you please explain it and make it make sense to me.... [Chorus] Why couldn't you just say i love you or at least show me that you care but instead, you chose to tear me down and beat me without that care Was it because of the dad that raised you or was it because it was me.... I just wish that you would please "Explain this to me".. [Guitar solo] [Ending verse] I know dad that I'm probably wasting all this time because if you were going to explain it to me, you would have done it before you died I was just hoping wherever you ended up. on the other side You would hear the pain that's in this plea. and it would make you want to explain to me why...... [Outro] I'm begging you dad Please explain this to meeee....... Explain this to me...
