Well excuse me
I don't mean to complain
But there's something I've just gotta say
Something I just can't get off my brain
I need to tell you
My heart breaks everyday
As I think of how it used to be
And you tell me it can never be the same
I've got to give myself some change
No matter what we do or say
Love won't go away

This song goes out to my prodigal dad
When you left it hurt me more than words can say
You were the best friend that a boy ever had
Do you really think it's best you went away?
Prodigal dad

The day you left
I felt so all alone
Man I felt just like an orphan
Then my Father came and held me like a son
And I looked at all I had
Where there used to be a dad
There's so much more than a dad

And maybe
Maybe you'll hear me out
And see I'm learning what God's mercy's all about
And my love
Is deeper than the pain
And I'll forgive you everyday
Because love never goes
Away
