My sweet innocent child

I know how much you must've cried

I hope you hope that I died

Hopefully find a real father figure


Im a terrible excuse for a man

Running without a note

Leaving you and your mother

To fend for yourselves


I truly hope your better along than I am

I should be on the street dying

This couch is too much for me

A liar, immature, and a dirty, cheating thief


Every half dollar goes to you

But it's still not enough

I hope you don't find the letters

I'd be a better man dead


Maybe one day I could return

Once I'm sober, clean shaved, and employed

But that won't happen soon

In fact it'll happen much too late
