[Verse 1]
[Em]Staring at the wall,
I never thought this would
be so [B]hard.
[Em]How could have I been so
close and never known you?
I never knew,
I never knew you [Bm]at al[Em]l!

[Verse 2]
You will always be my father
but I [D]hope you [Em]know,
It's your [C]fault and [Em]I'll never
know [D]what [Bm]that means.
[Em]You left a void that never
could be replaced.
I am [C]dying in[Em]side but you will
nev[G]er [B]see![Em]

[Verse 3]
I [C]always had [D]hoped [Em]that you
did [Am]not [G]want it [B]this way,
[Em]But no matter how hard[C] I try
[D]you always pus[Em]hed away.
[B]You

[Verse 4]
said you loved me but
[Em]How

[Verse 5]
was [D]I supposed t[C]o know
(How was I supposed [G]to know)
When [Em]you left here,
[D]You left me here [C]alone?
[Am]Do I ever [G]even cross your mind[D],
[Em]Just for [C]second?
Do you [G]know I'm alive?

You [D]know I

[Verse 6]
[Em]would let you in
but you threw everything away.
So tell me what [B]did you get from
all of these years of [Em]pain?
You have no clue what
I've been through,
But I [C]guess that you [Em]wanted
it that [G]way![D]

[Verse 7]
[Em]How was [D]I supposed t[C]o know
(How was [G]I supposed to know)
When [Em]you left here,
[D]You left me here [C]alone?
[Am]Do I ever even[G] cross your mind[D],
[Em]Just for [C]second?
Do you [G]know I'm alive?
[B]

[Verse 8]
[Em]If you would've been there,
[B][Em][B]
[Em]If you would've stuck around.
[B]If you would've bee[Em]n there
when I needed you,
You would've been

[Verse 9]
You would've been so proud!
[Em]How was [D]I supposed t[C]o know
(How was I supposed [Em]to know)
When you left here,
[D]You left me here [C]alone?[D]
[Am]Do I ever even[G] cross your mind[D],
[Em]Just for [G]second?[C]
Do you [G]know I'm alive?
