What If...
What if you had stayed
What if you cared
What if you visited
What if you came back
I spend hours each day wondering
What if
What if I was a good enough daughter for you
What if you had loved me from birth
What if you had stayed even a little longer
What if the drugs didn't take you away
I spend sleepless nights crying
I cry out for my father
The one that didn't stay
I cry out for the man that was supposed to love me from that day
You were supposed to be there for me
No matter what happened
Instead you left me
Wondering
