Where were you dad?
Where were you dad?, where were you everytime I was down on my knees,
You were never there to pick me and put me back on my feet.
Everytime I ever cried myself to sleep,
You were never there right next to me.
You've never been there by my side,
And when we met all i heard was lies,
How can you make me feel so weak,
I only knew you for 3 1/2 weeks...
Yet no matter what, you still think you're the best,
I think your false ego needs a rest!
I just want to say, I know who my father is.
But thanks to you my heart was just dissed
Now all I can do is admit you were never there.
Except my heart now stands alone, hurt and bare.
I thought you could show me love,
I thought my prayers were answered from above...
Thanks to you dad, I am back on my own.
I'm back to being scared and alone,
I never know which way to go.
You're too buisy with your ho's.
That's right dad you're worthless to me,
You just don't have the power to see...
I waited for you all my life.
Ever since you left your kid and wife,
You left us there to die.
Is that why you forgot about me?
You sent me into fetal distress
You thought I was dead? Sorry to upset.
I'm still here. I'll always be here...
I fought 8 long years to find you
Somehow knowing you'd choose,
To turn your back on me once more.
You brought me back to my mom,
Knowing about the abuse she put me through.
You turned your head everytime I was hit.
Then finally you decided to split...
Well guess what a real dad,
A real man wouldn't just leave!
So I am asking you please,
Don't give up on me, you don't even know me!
Next time you get drugs, think of me,
And think about everything that you see.
Someday my picture is going to be on someones wall
Not because I am famous, but because I made a difference.
I hope you know all the pain you put me through
I hope you know I continue to cry.
I sit and I wonder late into the night,
Why? Why do you continue to worry me?
Why do you continue to ruin my life?
But then I realize that's what love is.
I wish you the best.
Through the booze, drugs, and all the rest.
You failed the father test.
Know that you have broke my heart the last time...
For my trust in you must die!
I feel so alone in this big world.
You sent my sister's head in a twirl.
Don't you realize she was the only "normal" one in our family.
Now she's confused of who she is.
She doesn't know reality...
You continue to influence her although you aren't here
Blood or not you are the only father she knows,
Because of that you I must dispose.
You will die a lonely death,
You no longer have someone to share your life with.
