Many of you commented that I am a 'great father.' Here's the truth...
As a father I’ve failed I should have been jailed My kids are not happy The blame’s on their pappy I pushed them too hard left them with scars On the surface they’re fine underneath they are cryin’ If I only could've seen what the future would’ve been I’d have taken my foot off the pedal and never have meddled I'd have left things to mom to the one who was calm Instead of asserting myself I'd have watched from the shelf... But now I’m old and at home and nearly alone My kids, out of touch I miss them so much
