I have to tell my self not to
So many times, on a daily basis...

It's been a year now
Since we've been apart...

When you can lie straight to my face
And not even seem to care...

Dad,
I did exactly what you told me to do...

Don't I matter anymore
why do you act like that...

I'm losing this battle
And it's tearing me apart...

I see you and know you talk to a lot of people
But still when I see you talking to a girl...

Those eyes of yours
staring me up and down...

I remember the day we met
Walking home from school...

It started with one bad day
One horrible, depressing minute...

Have you ever wanted to sit back and watch your...
and how other people treated you...

As you lay in bed asleep
I run my hand over your soft, tight curls...
