The Father I Never Had

When I'm alone I wonder why you didn't fight for me You get more credit for being a dad that you deserve to be All the times you gave your word and left me standing in the rain All the promises you broke and left my heart with pain Even as a little child I never could understand How you could ignore me all the time and still call yourself a man All the times you said I love you and never backed it up All the love you never showed and all your lack there of I only wanted you to care, I longed for your attention All the mistakes and problems you caused, I won't waste time to mention I wanted you to be there for me, though you never were So how can you still say you miss me, you've really got some nerve Others made of for the loss of you, but it's never been the same I now have the only man I need, I hate to even speak your name I have someone else who makes me feel good, it will never be my dad I just wish you would have been the father I never had
