where have you been?

you left so long ago
i've forgotten what you looked like

sometimes i hate you
you choose drugs over your only daughter
you choose to run and hide
instead of staying in town with me
and watching me grow

sometimes i miss you
i was never daddy's little girl
and i never had that father figure growing up
you didn't chase away those monsters under my bed
or see me go on my first date
you didn't bother to be in my life

sometimes i hate you
you never call any more
and you don't care to get involved in my life
fatherhood wasn't for you

now i have daddy issues
and abandonment ones too

i want to love you
but you make it so hard to forgive you
