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
