A Letter To My Father
Why is it after all these years, the pain is still there
I've tried to forgive, but I know I haven't
Why is it easier to hate you than to care
This had a bigger effect on my life than I knew
I never wanted to admit it was destroying my life
I know I shouldn't, but I still blame you
All I wanted was for you to love me
Treat me like I was your real daughter
You did so many bad things to me
All I wanted was to get away, to be set free
You hurt me so bad inside
I was so young, I didn't understand
When you would come home, I just wanted to hide
Yout abuse caused me to have this huge void
A void I would never be able to fill
I hope you're happy, for my life you have destroyed
