Remember

I remember when you packed up and stacked the bags in the pick up That night I curled up in a corner I wore black like a mourner I had dreams of us You & ma got alone without a fuss You held me and said daddy is here and not going nowhere There you cast away all my fears When ever I feel no body cares I remember and it gets me in tears But it would never happen No matter how much I pretend But you know me Better than any body You mean to tell me You never did anything wrong You wasn’t there to sing a bed time song All you did was never call on my birthday All you did take care of us but hey That’s nothing right You think me & Joshua are nothing right You never did nothing wrong right NO So you had to go But you didn’t call me not even when I turned 6 years old Now you acting like super dad The thought alone gets me mad You try to say if I don’t call you won’t call So you think I care at all What are you gonna do leave me Walk away from me, It’s the reality Go back where you came from Because all you ever did was run But I’m not going to lie. “Dad” You wasn’t so bad When acted like you You was cool You was caring, loving, funny, and understanding That showed a lot to me It showed me that you are a good person inside You sometimes tend to hide When you subside What feeling are erupting inside you mind No matter what you say Days from today I will remember The years I spent as your daughter They are different Daughter & Birth Child you hear it Birth Child was when I would dream of you coming back but you never tried to get in contact Afraid of how I would react Wondering I would attack When all you subtract me from you causing a greater impact on my childhood creating things I never understood Daughter was when you taught me to dance and when you took care of us That’s why I’ll always give you a chance For the good times but I’ll always that about you all the time
