its been a real long time since you walked away
ripped in two every bond that you had made
started a new life, stopped caring for us
you were gone and you destroyed our trust
in anything - for a while
i never saw my family smile
you left us and left so many questions
but now only one question remains-
where have you been
you missed all of us growing up
you missed all of the times it got tough
you missed us all become who we are
and although the journey was far
we made it the whole way without you
there are no improvements you could do
because every single one of us has surpassed you
youre the one who missed out
throughout my whole life - i hated you
a hate so strong that it blinded my view
not for the empty hole you left me with
but the pain you caused the others with all of this
im proud of who i am and who ive become
id like to understand why you did what youve done
but even knowing that wont change a thing
its been too long now - where have you been
im afraid to say i think nothing will change
i guess some wisdom doesnt come with age
i will die before you can answer me
and i hope regret clouds your mind for eternity!
(this song is about my dad leaving when i was younger. i just wanted to explain that when i look back on my life i'm not filled with regret or sadness that i never really had a dad. it was tough at the time and not everything is perfect now but overall it was him who missed out on having a relationship with the amazing family that i have. it was easy to forgive him for leaving me, but to see the hurt that it brought to my mum and my siblings i can't help but feel anger towards him. i don't hate him anymore, i've moved passed that, but i know that i will never find out why he left, there will never be proper closure)
