Pot Head.

by Laura   Jul 27, 2005


Daddy I know I've asked before
and I know the answer I was given
but dad don't you see
that's just a lie that you've been livin'

I know that it's your secret
and I know that you will lie
but father you just don't know
I've caught you with my own eyes

I saw it in your mouth
and I found it in the trailer
your truck even smells like it
..and you called me a failer?!

You don't know how much it hurts
because I know to me you lied
you made a promise to me dad
I thought this you wouldn't hide

Chelsea said it was because your stressed
and that I understand
but it's no excuse
to make others suffer from second hand

I've told you how much I hate it
but you don't seem to care
every morning's the same thing
smoke contaminates the air

I used to want to be just like you
but now my feelings aren't the same
I wish I could help you
to put a stop to this awful game

I just hope you know
no matter what you do
I'll always be the one
for you to count on too

You might have made me cry
and torn apart my soul
but you'll always be my daddy
the one that makes me whole

so if you want to smoke
then go ahead and light her up
I've given up on you quiting
my efforts aren't enough

So now that you have broken me
as you cut my final thread
I must except that my Dad..my Hero..my World..
turns out to be your average pot head.
