I saw you lying there just the other day
I tried to talk to you, but knew not what to say
A look of disbelief had ran across your face
A childs worst nightmare, no father can replace
And I said oh no, oh no
And he said, no son don't go
Won't you please just go away?
There's nothing more for you to say
When you were my age you would party every night
Go to the bar, get drunk, and get into a fight
A forty year old man, stuck in teenage shoes
And now your sitting home, singing the blues
And I said oh no, oh no
And he said, no son don't go
Won't you please just go away?
There's nothing more for you to say
The day you left you never thought we'd reunite
Turn your back with a cigarette, all the anger you ignite
Well now I'm here and your still singing the same old song
Nobody's right, if everybody's wrong, and I said
Well that's ok dad, have it your own way
Keep being selfish, just like you are today
Stay true to yourself, keep living one huge lie
Cause I won't be coming back, to kiss you goodbye
Won't you please just go away?
There's nothing more for you to say
