Where Was You Than Dad
I used to want your respect so bad it hurt, I feel like I lost something I never got the chance to earn.
Now it's my turn dad. I want to say that I need you but I know its not true.
It took me forever to swallow that truth, it must be lonely and hard to get through.
Trust me I was thinking the same thing when I realized I never really knew you, and that broke me.
I used to wait for your letters, pretending like I didn't care if you wrote me, I had to swallow the truth that my dad didn't really want to know me.
Tell me, it was the drugs you done. Tell me, it was the drinking instead of us. Say it! Because my whole life I thought I was just hard to love.
You wasn't there when I graduated, I looked for you though. I fucking waited! Holding out hope, I held off as the last one to go, I was humiliated standing up there but you wouldn't know.
I was a man when you tried to step in, I needed a father and you where there trying to be my friend! Fuck you, where have you been? I was just a kid, that need you. Where was you then? Tell me! Or I'm leaving too. You know on second thought fuck you. You're to late it's been years since I needed you.
