Four Empty Years

Lyrics

Verse 1
Where's my dad?
I keep asking the air
Haven't seen him in four years
And it still don't feel fair

I wake up early
Thinking maybe today
Maybe I hear his steps
Maybe he won't drift away

I'm only twelve
Got a heart too wide
Got a question in my mouth
And it stays inside

Pre-Chorus
Father's Day comes around
And I just stare at the plate
One more name on my mind
That never called my name

I don't know what to do
When the whole room feels so loud
I keep saving my tears
For when nobody's around

Chorus
Where's my dad?
Tell me where he at
I need one sign
I need that back

Where's my dad?
Four years gone like that
I'm still here waiting
I'm still looking back

Verse 2
I saw kids with their fathers
At the store by the door
Little hands on big hands
And it hit me to the core

I don't hate him
I just want a reason
Did he think of me at all
Through the seasons and the leavin'

I got a shirt too small
And a voice that shakes
Got a shelf full of "maybe"
And a heart that breaks

Pre-Chorus
Father's Day comes around
And I just stare at the plate
One more name on my mind
That never called my name

I don't know what to do
When the whole room feels so loud
I keep saving my tears
For when nobody's around

Chorus
Where's my dad?
Tell me where he at
I need one sign
I need that back

Where's my dad?
Four years gone like that
I'm still here waiting
I'm still looking back

Bridge
If you can hear me
I ain't asking for much
Just a honest answer
Just a little touch

I got a lot of growing
And a hole in my chest
If you come back now
Maybe I can rest

Chorus
Where's my dad?
Tell me where he at
I need one sign
I need that back

Where's my dad?
Four years gone like that
I'm still here waiting
I'm still looking back
