she's confused on why she's mad at him
and why he doesnt care
she want's him to be her dad again
but knows those feelings they dont share
the only contact he makes with her
is when she makes him see
how much he makes her suffer
and how much he makes her bleed
some people say its for attension
i thought it was a cry for help
i couldnt take the suspension
and i couldnt end it myself
he doesnt know to this day
the pain she feels inside
she almost took her own life away
but knows the pain confirms she's still alive
