My father
A hole I couldn’t fill,
In place I shouldn’t be,
But I’ll hold together,
Every part of me…
Cause I’m far from broken,
Just a little worn around the edge,
But you will never break me,
I’ve come so far from that ledge,
Yes that a hole I couldn’t fill,
And that place I shouldn’t be,
But I’ll hold together,
Every damn part of me,
And You will never see me fall,
And You will never be right there,
All the days you don’t call,
I won’t break anymore.
But I’m so sick of crying,
And I’m so tired of missin you,
You weren’t just a shitty friend,
But a shitty father too
