Dedicated to Dad

Dedicated to you dad
With all my love..

I can't remember
The times you were here
They're all such a blur
I just can't remember

I was so young when you left
It all happened much too fast
You just don't love me I guess
All I know is you made a mess

You left Mummy
You broke her heart
That's what you did Daddy
You tore her apart

You said you'd be there
At my ballet recital
And there you were
But late as usual

You promised me skates
If I get straight A's
I guess you forgot
I didn't even see your face

When I see a new bride
Dancing with her dad
I run and hide
'Cause I know I can't do that

Do you hate me dad?
Is that why you left me dad?
Am I too ugly dad?
Or am I just so freaking bad?

I barely see you
But when I do
It feels like heaven
Do you feel it too?

I want to love you
But I loath you so much
I want to hate you
But I love you too much

I want father-daughter bonding
Not a phone call once a month
I want to eat ice-cream
With you, not alone

I want to tell you my secrets
Not talk about the weather
I want to know you care
Instead, you just don't bother

I know you try
I do too
But it's just too late
Too late to undo

The hurt I feel
The pain I bare
The broken promises
Will always be there

Especially for you dad
Thanks for the pain you caused
