My Old Man

by Ashley Redden   Jul 2, 2005


I need someone to hold me
To tell me the truth about life
I need someone to tell me who I am
I been living low for so long now
Seems like a lifetime now
My old man don't help
He drinks his life away
Comes in late at night
Stumbles and falls
As he makes it to the porch
Comes in
Fights with mom
And tells her how awful she is
But in my eyes
I wonder why shes stuck it out this long
Sometimes I wish he'd leave
But sometimes its so pitiful
I don't know why I think the way I do
I keep everything
Never told no one
It got rougher and rougher
And I got lower and lower
I love dad to death
I just wished he change
Before its to late
I wish he'd wake up to the real world
And realize what he has
I just wish he knew
How much I hurt
Not only cause of him
But the other things when I need him to
But no matter what
Hes My Old Man
