Sum 41 - Dear Father (Lyrics in description)

[XxSage4589xX]

I dislike how most of the times dads want a son but not a effing daughter i feel like i was a mistake to my dad sorry dad for not being wat u wanted from me.

[FoFREDBULL]

haha lot's of ppl in here have a fucked up fathers and the stories make me laugh :D

[FallOfMind]

top comments need to get over it.

[NEVERSHOUTBRI]

Alot of people are lucky they have a father that cares about them..shit my father hit me when i was younger and sometimes he kept me from my mother and my dads parents thought my mom was a piece of shit mom she isnt my dad is a piece of shit he dont call me he dont care its always about him i am very thankful for my stepdad and my mom I love you mommy you are the best mom i could ever ask for even though we dont agree on things or argue i still love you <3

[llllSNEAKllll]

I like this song, even though i have a very good father :]

[superking95]

@llllSNEAKllll same

[1994toyotasupra]

lol yeah my dad literally left the hospital room when i came out and never sent me more than 2 letters my whole life. he even had a daughter and stayed with her... dick

[cmanzi36]

i hate my dad -.- doesnt bother callin me, givin me any bday or xmas presents, & doesnt bother tryna see me. but then again im better off without him. ohh & not to mention he owes my mom like $12,000 in child support. go fuck ya self dad.

[scream6aim6fire1993]

Fuck you, "father" isn't a name you deserve. Hope you rot with that whore you cheated with. Fuck you. Just fuck you. When you die i'll vandalise the shit out your grave. Fucking cunt.

[piratephish23]

Even thou i have a step father i sometimes wonder who my real dad is

[SophomoreSlump236]

I hope fathers that left would just suffer for life.

[BraceForSilence]

i love this song, but to the people that never knew there father: having a dad an knowing him your whole life:then he starts a new family, an when your birthday or x-miss comes around he buys you gifts that his kids will like an not you, an he makes you keep them at his hous.(an just doesnt care about you) never having loved by your dad, is better then having the love, but its not there any more

[sarapocorn]

i wish i would've never known my father.

people are always so sad when they hear that my father left - but it was the best thing that ever happened in my whole life.

dad, i hate you.

your daughter.

[girlsparx]

Dads are not worth...

all the misery they cause... =[

[dessyboo1019881]

This Song Has A LOT of Meaning to me. :/

[yusukeXichigo]

I never met my dad and im glad, he tried to kill my mom and my older brother...the only thing he left me are voices in my head, thanks dad

[Xxhayleex]

never knew my dad n im happy enough reli. sori to those who have crap dads :/

[OfficialSamueLegit]

I hate thinking bout fathers day.

: /

[DarioNS95]

Am i the only one who noticed that here he says that he doesn't have a dad but in walking disaster it says he does ("mom and dad both in denial")

[basketbalfreak7]

@DarioNS95 weird aint it?

[SicStoneknot]

My father use to beat me for 10 years. I just thought that I did somthing wrong & it was normal. He would call me worthless, pathetic, a retard, and he never gave me hope or anything. I turned to drugs because of it, which I was very wrong about. Luckly, the drugs are over, but no matter what I do, I never get anything for it. It makes you feel horrible.

[travisbauknecht]

@SicStoneknot I know how you feel dude :/ having an entire childhood of violence, screaming, and abuse isn't kool, but now that I'm older I know that I will never be like that as a father (: No one should have to go through what we did as kids

[fredfredgurger]

Deryck never met his father, he left when he was like 2 thats why he writes these songs about him.

[icex888]

my father wrote to me today and it was realy nice he was laughing and was humoristic=) but he live far away from me:(

[munajooseppi]

Wow... Now I realise how lucky I am to have a father who cares. We used to be best friends, but now I'm a stupid teenager who things that his father wants to ruin his life by telling him that he's not allowed to do something. I've been such a dick

[icex888]

I thought that I did know ho my dad was but he was just an alcoholic shit that leaved me and moved long away he lefted me with a system here in norway that only have sendt me around like a letter. I have moved more times these years then many have in a life time. its 6 days till i get 17 and i havent heard a word for him or nothing. It realy sucks

[rocketboy2011]

My dad pretends to care but hes just pushing me to be what he blew. I dont want to be some sports jock, musics where im at and he hates that about me.

Fuck dads that try to live their sons lives.

[igotaznhairdoyou]

@rocketboy2011

haha I feel ya bro, my dad wishes I was a science and math nerd with no friends. He hates it when I hang out with my friends or play sports often, and always tells me what to do. You're pretty lucky that you're dad wants you to get into sports though, my dad wishes I was a typical Asian studying nerd.

[Goldenjews12345]

I wish i had met my dad sometimes being adopted is great not knowing your real dad sucks almost 19 years of my life i havent even seen him

[qawserftgyuh]

well then, its his loss

[PaudinsDrawings]

Fathers that leave are Fucking Bastards.

[TpendragonT]

@PaudinsDrawings actually, the kids they leave are bastards.

[PaudinsDrawings]

@TpendragonT If you fucked your gf and leave because she has a kid, then you have to DIE. When the kid leaves the parents then it's probably the parents their fault because of the misery in house but that's not what the song is about.

[3daysAnd2nights]

@PaudinsDrawings My dad left me 7 years ago... last week he died... I'm having mixed emotions about it...

[Richieisbrown]

@PaudinsDrawings Fathers that leave are fucking pussies. They cannot man up to be a role model and help a little person grow up to be a good person. We men should all man up and prepare ourselves for our own mistakes and consequences. Leaving a child is the worst thing you can humanly do.

[PaudinsDrawings]

@Richieisbrown Totally agreed

[RobbieCBPBarlow]

@Richieisbrown agree wiv u 100% on that even tho im not a dad.

[XxSage4589xX]

@Richieisbrown That true. When my father left me for another women and made another child it was the worst thing for me I still see him but it not that special bond my father and other brother has.

[1245shadowscythe]

wonder if this is about his real dad or god.....huh interesting to think about

[rose4395]

his dad, he never met him.

[Gamer5793plays]

lmao your retarded dude the song is called dear father and he even says address this letter to dear father

[Blivia]

This song sounds too much like Walking Disaster, or does Walking Disaster sound too much like this song? I'm not sure which one came first. XD

Anyway, it's not a bad song at all, just I noticed that instantly.

[TheRustedBass]

awesome song its one of their best songs

[zilla195]

so awesome i love this song.

sum 41 rock on.

[oxnerdmangafreak]

@the comment that PullyElbow27 made 3months ago.

Songs are for yourself, you there's a "base" to it, and then you imagine what it means.

[burtonsnow94]

my dad died when i was 9, left when i was 7, he's been gone for more than half my life, i loved him and everything, but as i grow smarter, i realize that there is NO reason for a father to go on a "business trip" for 2 years...

[swestsider]

Sorry but i did not ask for you life's story.haha I am kidding that must suck.

[WoIF10]

sry for u :(

try be good & dont worry =) soon u'll have afamily & u'll be a dad ^_^ who's know fri

[PaudinsDrawings]

Aww =( mmmh Your comment touched me. Are you 15 years old?

[flyingturky]

i love my father, and i know him and everything, but sometimes, i think it would be better if i HAD never met him.......

[PaudinsDrawings]

Why?

[javaruby0]

happy fucking fathers day, worse day out of the whole year

[flyingturky]

i agree with u there...

[Problematiquetic]

@javaruby0

I know how you feel.

[llllSNEAKllll]

@javaruby0 I wouldnt say that. Sure, there are fathers out there who ditch their families, but what about the fathers who stay with their families through thick and thin? Do they get credit?

[FBvampire]

@javaruby0 why do they even get a day? all they did was have sex....

[spazzyxjazzyxboo]

reminds me of the exact situation I'm in with my mom...

ehh life sucks

but songs like this make me know I'm not alone (:

[TroubledJosh]

Awesome song. I was adopted because my father left my Mom before I was born. I've always felt angry at a father in my life, just been misplacing it for a while. But, yeah the bastard's a complete unknown.

[shibainu133]

reminds me of my also non-existent father

[digitalfreak0117]

this reminds me of my dad he died .........:(

[lotsa69s]

he never new his dad thats wot the songs about so unles u didnt no him and he died u cant relate

[digitalfreak0117]

ya i really never knew my dad :(

[PullyElbow27]

People interpret songs differently than what they're originally written for, and that's okay. Every song isn't written for one sole purpose.

[ACEVEDOking214]

*Guwd...Song*

[LeEmoCupcake]

Reminds me of my dad.

=[

Makes me cry everytime I hear it.

[thrashcopycats]

everytime i hear this i get blink182 i miss you stuck in my head i think this sounds like a modified version of that

[Beanzi333]

it dus sound like it dosnt it

[PullyElbow27]

Sounds like a combination of Adam's Song and I Miss You, but it's a good song nevertheless. I gotta say I'm really impressed by the Underclass Hero album. Shows Sum's more mature side.

[shauli1133]

every time i hear it it make me cry

[shauli1133]

[shauli1133]
