I'm Sorry ... [for my real dad]

I'm sorry that I wasn't good enough 
Sorry that you weren't there
I'm sorry that you don't love me
Sorry that you don't care
I wish I could take away 
whatever it was that I did to you 
I wish you'd come back and see 
that I'm a different person. I'm brand new
I'm sorry that my life was not what you wanted
I'm sorry you left 
I'm sorry that you haven't seen me 
I'm sorry that you haven't seen what came next
Your absense from my life hurt
You left without a good word
Your absense from my life hurt
You left me crying on the curb
For years I've been wondering 
where are you? 
My father, who was supposed to love me
where are you? 
All I have to say now is
I'm sorry Dad that you didnt see me grow
I'm sorry that you dont see that I'm a big girl now
but your gone. so you'll never know

  2. awww...I know a lot of dads that arent there for their kids, but its never the kids fault! Dads just dont have that same "thru thick and thin" instinct that moms have. so with a lot of dads, when the going gets tough, they dont have enough of themselves to go around. men are weak...lol
