Father


Do i know you

I don't know the answer to that question

Yea I guess you could say you've been here

But then again have you really

When i pick up the phone to call you the line goes dead

When i try to talk it all goes into my head

You left since I was a little girl with no clue of anything in this world

It hurts but i still try to let it go

Even though its all i know is to let things go

People tell me don't give up and to fight for your dream

But hey what do they know

I'll tell you one thing they know more than me
