How Can You

How can you, stand there and call yourself a man? How can you, sit there and drink can after can? How can you, just stumble through life? How can you, not see the pain your causing your wife? How can you, hurt your family on a daily basis? How can you, not see the disgust on our faces? How can you, expect me to be ok with your choices? How can you, expect me to not raise my voice? How can you, hurt my girls and expect no response from me? How can you, sit there guilt free? How can you, look at the relationship we once had? How can you, expect me to call you dad?
