I Never Needed a Dad

Hey Dad, Look at me. Am i what you expected? Here I am, living life The way you always rejected. At peace with myself, with my head in the sky.. My love on the shelf, And I never said bye.. But that's fine, Cause guess what? You left me first, dad. And now you've been cut, Don't you dare think you're sad. Cause i can swear before God you hurt me and mom more. So take your pain, and your hurt, and walk out the front door. AGAIN.
