She grew up in a house made of porcelain, crystal, glass
Her brother left a year ago
Sister would end a half
Mother is a name at best
And father was a mess
The ingredients were wrong
But dad you saved us all

So now I say
Hey dad I learned this all from you
I must have won this time
Say dad I learned this all from you
I must have won this time
This time

Working late and losing lunch
While waking up and standing out
She never knew this all tasted so good when it was hot
And everything that she saw on TV
And everything that you wanted to be
And hear about in his dreams
So she could go to sleep and have her own

Hey dad, I tried so hard

I say hey dad I learned this all from you
I must have won this time
Say dad I learned this all from you
I must have won this time
This time

    General Comment:i don't think it's "And hear about in his dreams". to me it sounds more like "And he abandoned his dreams".

    General Comment:thanks for posting these lyrics, but one minor correction:

    her brother left a year ago
    sister one and a half

    song's pretty literal, but it's still great!
