Bottled up inside, these are the things I’d never say
The feelings which I hide, the sings you’ve never read
You can see it in my eyes, read it on my face,
Trapped inside are lies, of the past I can't replace

All those times I cried for you, you never came
All the sports I played, you never seen one game
I’ve always tried to make you proud, but you never seemed to care
You say that you love me, you would never dare

I wish I had my father here by my side
but just the thought of him makes me cry
Never being able to get to know him
Hurts me inside everyday that goes by

It’s hard to miss something you never really had
But that’s all part of having you as a dad
Don’t get me wrong I wish you were here
But like always here is nowhere near

You could of owned a place in my heart but you tear it apart
It takes a man to be a father
As for you dad don’t even bother
