Big raindrops of tears fall from my eyes
why did he have to leave
he stripped me of the perfect family
I HATE MY FATHER
was it my fault?
did i have something to do with it?
a gazillion thoughts run though my mind at once
my head is bursting in flames
i wish there was something to ease the pain
the doorbell rings
its not him
he wasn't there for me before
why would he be there now?
I HATE MY FATHER
i don't need him
those are the words my mother tries to slam into my brain anyway
but deep down i know i need him
but he left me
i didn't leave him
so i know he doesn't need me
but in the end
when the world turns on him
and everything comes crashing down like raging waters
hes gonna wish he had a daughter
but when the time comes
I'm not gonna be there for him
like he wasn't there for me...
