You were never there for me
you were never there when
I was little and had a
bad dream.

You were never there when
I came home from school
upset and in need of comfort.

You were never there for
any of my band concerts,
softball games, or bowling
tournaments.

You never helped me when
I needed it
you never really saw me
when you were home and
not hungover.

And now that you wanna be
a part on my life
you expect me to forgive
you and call you Dad.
