Like You Never Did

Folder: 
My Thoughts

Hey son, "How was your day?"

You look at me and that's all you say

And I can't help but feel dejected

I'm just a son you adopted

While someone else simply rejected



Those four words mean so much

They cut deep and leave no crutch

And I wonder do you ever regret

That I'm your son

Cause I've grown up lost and a mess



Hey dad, "When I have a son of my own"

He'll never live inside a broken home

Two parents near and holding him

And if he falls I'll be there to catch him

To dry the tears that shower him



I don't want to hear a thank you

Cause to ba a father, that's who you need to be

Put your son before yourself

Put yourself behind your son

I'll have his back and show him love



"Dad I'm going to be everything you never were

I'm going to teach the things you never taught

I'm going to seek the things you never sought

... and I'm going to love my son, like you never did."
