A man that left me so sad
So mad
Caused me to act out, do bad
My dad
Said he was coming to see me
Believe me
My young heart was deceived
Broken time after time
Love declined cause I believed his lies
I grew up
Way faster than needed
I succeeded
But still felt as if I was mistreated
Left behind to die
I ask myself why
He's never here
Oh I fear
I’ll never see him then
But yet again
The cycle starts over
Little girl
Hangs onto his shoulders
Piggyback rides Laughter Amusement
Then he has to leave
And to this day I feel the need
To ask myself why
Cause the phone calls aren’t enough
On FaceTime I’m giving up
Skype can’t heal the cracks
I wish he was here
Oh so close
Oh so near
It’s not fair
They stare
Cause I’m the only one there with one parent
It’s apparent I’m sad
I cry
Cause my dad doesn’t act like a dad
Just a man who calls once in awhile
Just to make me smile
And for a minute I forget
How my life really is
And I fall back into that cycle
Of trust and broken hearts
I’m smart
I’ve learned to never to never twist another man
Cause my dad showed her what they really can do
And I’m not falling no more
That was the last time
I walk out the door
