So I’m not going to listen anymore.  You had your chance with me but you threw it away.

Your letter came in the mail today and this is what I did with it:

The lines of this song capture it so perfectly.

I used to take you at face value
You spoke, I listened and the only thing missing was the truth
Yeah, promises, promises
Lines as honest as a three dollar bill
You talk the talk
But you don’t walk the walk and I’ve had my fill
Going on like this is so absurd
I’m sick of these words, words, words

I burned your letter, dad, and now I want you to just leave me alone.
