To Daddy

Well I got your birthday present
And Christmas present too.
When all I really wanted
Was to spend my day with you

Why haven't u been able to see
That the dad I wanted and had
Was the dad I made up in my head!
That would be there when I was sad

Why can't you see I've needed you?
But you were never there
All my achievements that I made
You weren't around to share

My birthdays and Christmas'
Were nothing to look forward to
Because what was a birthday without a family
To share the memories too

Not one photo have I got of us
That we were happy and together
You told me when I was little
The bond would stay forever

What happened Dad?
Where did that bond go?
The glue that held us together
Why don't you know?

I think I know Dad
Was it because you were never there?
Where were the pictures of us at my birthdays?
Ever wondered why I doubted u care?

Look at yourself in a mirror!
And remember us together
What was that Dad?
There were none of us together!

Now do u get what i'm going through?
Now do u understand why I'm so bitter?
Trying to block the real dad out of my head
And replacing him with someone better

I wanted the dad that everyone had
The one who would tuck you in at night
The one who would be my hero
And tell me everything is alright

You were never him
Now do you see?
That dad I wanted wasn't you
AND U WILL NEVER BE!
