Neal

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.
