exactly, it's about a father leaving the family... this song would've perfect in this one episode of grey's anatomy! but, ya, the singer struggles with knowing that the person standing him/her is his father at the same knowing that calling him father couldn't be further from the truth..
i love the lines:
i hear her say,
you'd make your father proud
it echoes through the years
as if i could forget
all a mother's tears
i love BTE songs because they're always explore the grey, the shade between this emotion and that emotion, n this seems exploring the shade between the NEED, the WANT to have that father figure in his life while at the same time, resenting that he was never there, and not being able to forgive to forget "all a mother's tears"..
