Neal
For so long I've had this hole inside
For so long this hole I've tried to hide
It all started when I was just a baby
I don't know why but it all seemed so crazy
He bounced out when I was just a couple months old
For so long I felt cold
Wondering how can you have kids and not take care of um
Well I guess you can, if you’re a bum
I only knew his voice over the phone
Each time I saw him I had grown
He was never there for me
No one knew, they jus couldn't see
My hatred for a man that was never by my side
All I remember is how much I cried
Seeing the hurt in my moms eye
That taught me how to be a real guy
Leave it up to a girl to show your son how to be a real man
Look at it that way Neil, bet all you can say is damn.
