Left Me Here
Left here on the wall
Hanging here for a purpose unknown.
I was to be with you, I was going to live my life, As you wanted it.
But I was left on the wall, with no one to place me back up,
For when I was to fall.
You're gone now, far past home.
I'm stuck here without you, You were my life, you were my joy,
Hell I would have died for you,
But it wasn't the same way around,
You wouldn't die for your baby boy.
Dad, you're gone. I need you now more than ever.
I need you more then I need myself.
But you're down the road, bags shuffled in the trunk.
You left me hanging, You lied when you said,
You'd never leave me.....never!
You said you needed more than me,
I said I could change.
But that wasn't enough for you,
She was better than me,
You said that I would never see.
I asked If I'd ever see you again,
And the only thing you could say,
The only thing that you could have done to hurt me more.....
You said, "No son, I'm gone....but you can still see me,
you can just pretend."
