Happy Father's Day

Happy father's day, dad.
Oh, my bad. 
You were never my dad.

You were supposed to protect me,
You were supposed to be there, 
You were supposed to be my dad.

Sixteen year's, your still not here. 
Sorry for being a burden upon your life,
But I will not sit in despair. 

Aren't you happy now, dad?
I'm broken now, dad.

What's fathers day to you? 
You were never a dad. 
Now you sit in pleasure,
 without your own flesh.

Aren't you happy now, dad?
You were never my dad,
But enjoy your father's day.
