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.
