It’s a fine day to talk about that.
When you left you didn’t even,
Have the courage to tell me yourself.
School day, spent numb and waiting,
Don’t know if you’re coming back,
And all the while you’re screaming at me;
Turn it down, turn it off.
My taste’s never been good enough.
At least not to match up to yours.

Divorce.
The word of controversy on everyone’s lips.
Or maybe it’s just the church still.
I don’t know why but I’m slowly getting sick of it.
Every time you speak my stomach rolls,
I know you’re happier without her.
Why can’t you see, she’s not taking you away from me.
I love you just as much as she ever did.

It’s a fine time to think about it.
Not a peep for months.
I’m starting to relax around you again.
If I don’t see you for weeks,
It’s just because I love other people too.
You’re still my father, I can’t forget you.
I’ll always love you.
If you betray everything I stand for,
I won’t stop loving you, I can’t help it.
So if we were across the world,
With different beliefs,
Different lives,
If we stop talking,
Ever,
Don’t forget I still love you.
