What She Said

She looked at me with a smile im pregnant is what she said What ive wanted all the while being a father going through my head But when she told me she miscarried my fist banged into the floor And in the corner head in my knees buried as my hopes had flew out of the door. Wasn't i good enough to be a dad or was it just not my right All the fights they got so bad Until i finally saw the light You lied about the babies Never pregnant at all Holding my hopes up to my head like a gun so i would feel like leaving anymore. How could you do this to me? I ask myself this today Do you know how hard it was for me? Visiting a grave where no baby was contained? She said, and she lied All these times Just to get me to stay. She said it over and over And each time it would sting And the pain never goes away. She used this line more times i was to immature She told me the details of what they all looked like Loved to always see me hurt And take away all my fight. Breaking my heart so many times Let my dreams and hopes to die Are you happy with yourself? Making up things now to someone else? As of this moment i am done with you Apologize if you must there's nothing you can do. Even though there were no babies i still honor those that died. Placing little race cars and flowers on the stones of those who just fought but couldn't survive. She said, and she lied All these times Just to get me to stay. She said it over and over And each time it would sting And the pain never goes away.
