Was it easy for you
To just walk away
Leaving your child
Nothing to say
Father of my child
Daddy to none
Would it kill you to be there
To feel for someone?
I pulled us out of the slums
Without your helping hand
I'm bitter and I'm angry
I'm going to take a stand
You weren't there when she was sick
Walking the floor at night
Listening to her whimper
In the cold moon light
You missed her birthday
Didn't even bother to call
She called you a liar
Do you care at all?
Sometimes I think
Your veins are filled with ice
To disregard your child
And to hell with the price
You can have your single life
Your bottles and your friends
Such cold comfort for you
Is it worth it in the end?
Your baby girl
Would welcome you back inside
For her I would bury my resentment
And swallow my pride
But I'm keeping up a tally
A sad number in my head
Of every disappointment
And every lie you said
I know you'll have to mourn
For the bad father you were
My child will realize in time
Who was really there for her
It doesn't stop the heartache
When I hear her ask for you
I can't tell her why
Or explain the things you do
Now I have one question
I want you to tell my why
Why can't you be there
Why does my baby have to cry?
