never


if you had loved me like fathers should love their daughters i wouldnt be this way

always searching for your love 

while youre always searching for the next drink

you drown out the memories of your childhood with liquor 

and you take out your pain on me 

now my mother wants a divorce

and youve found a way to blame me 

like you have always done
