People say there's nothing like a father daughter bon d.

I couldn't wait for our to be gone.

At one point we were like to peas in a pod.

 

You were like a vampire turning off its human switch.

Remember when you hit mom with a car, and left her in a ditch?

You thought she was such a b****.

 

You're the reason for my tears.

Just because you didn't have your drugs.

Now I'm scared to get close to people.

You're the one to blame.

 

Mom covered up the bruises with white lies.

You only loved what was crushed up in a line.

When you came home you didn't even have a dime.

 

You said I had yur heart.

All you did was treat me like dirt.

I can tell you that really hurt.

 

You're the reason for my tars.

Just because you didn't have your drugs.

Now I'm scared to get close to people.

You're the one to blame.

 

It's been three years and I'm doing fine.

You as my father was just part time.

please don't try to come back anytime.

 

Your words still stun me as they play through my head.

They sneak up on me as I lay in bed.

I'll never think of you as my dad.
