It was always my fault, br when something went wrong, br the blame was my own, br never your yourself, br how do I seek, br for the words that I need, br to ask you to leave me br alone in peace. br br A knock on the door, br I open it slow, br scent of rum, br I know it is you, br forgive me please, br im asked to do, br I fall for the lies, br you always tell. br br I can change I can grow, br into a daddy who will, br love you and care for you br when it is needed the most. br br We hug and we cry, br the next morning you wake, br I open my arms, br you say go away, br you’ve been put to the test, br I knew you would fail, br you cant keep promises br that are ever real br br Its time I left, br you need to understand, br that what is going on, br is for the best, br br your my dad I love you I do, br but I cant carry on, br pretending that you love me to.
