i used to respect you,
but now that i know what you do
my respect for you is untrue
your never sober
why cant this phase just be over?
you dint come home till late after midnight
and if mom's awake, you make it a point to start a fight
the actions in which you take place
effect everyone in your trace
seeing you like this makes me cry
i bet you wonder why
you used to be the dad that played with me
but now i wonder how this could be
you think me and casey cant tell if your drunk or high
but why do u think we avoid you when u get home?
why every now-and-then i start to cry?
why do you lie and say you'll try to stop?
why cant you see the pain this is causing me?
i am the one that tries to cover for you in front of mom
i am the one that all of your actions pile upon
i am the one that would do anything just to see u sober
i am the one that sees u taking pills from the cabinet
i am the one that hears your words slur when u speak
i am the one that sees you stumble to ur bedroom
i am the one that sees you passed out on the couch
i am the one that u hurt when you decided to show up drunk at my awards ceremony in front of all my friends
i am the one that you promised to stop to
i am the one that you lied to
i am the one that needs a father
i am the one that needs your love
hurry up and overcome this, no debating
my love for you is quickly fading
