you lost me at hello

can you tell me how it feels, dad?

because i dont seem to understand.

can you please explain how you took your life

with my picture in your hands?



can you show me what it was like, dad?

when the herion hit your brain.

can you explain to me how you lived

when you were causing so much pain.



can you inhale the crystal powder, dad?

and tell me whats so fucking great

can you explain the euphoria you felt

with your suicidal fate.



can you look into my eyes, dad?

and see the emptiness inside

can you see each ounce i lost

for every time you lied.



can you see how every day, dad

i deteriorate even more

expalin to me how you don't cry

while i'm collapsed on the bathroom floor



can you tell me how much longer, dad?

becuase i don't think i can last

let me know when i'll hit the ground

beacuse i know i'm falling fast



can you please tell me why, dad?

because i don't think i'll ever know

tell me please, so i can understand

because you lost me at hello.
