You left us in the cold, in 1988
And all of my respect has withered all away
My mom opened the door and took a look inside
To find that you had fled, disappeared into the night

So don't bother because we turned out okay
And we didn't need your guidance anyway
You're the reason we are who are today
And us for us, I guess there's no disgrace like home

We struggled through the years, confused and all alone
Waiting for the day we thought you'd come back home
We saw you once or twice, when you had the time
It's great to see that you've prioritized your life

So don't bother because we turned out okay
And we didn't need your guidance anyway
You're the reason we are who are today
And us for us, I guess there's no disgrace like home

I'd like to put this time to use
Apologize for all the words I've used
That hurt you
And I don't mean to be so rude
But you won't ever know about the things
We've been through

So don't bother because we turned out okay
And we didn't need your guidance anyway
You're the reason we are who are today
And us for us, I guess there's no disgrace like home
