Absentee father

All I wanted was your love

Back then that wasn't good enough

You left, you strayed, and went away

And now the price is mine to pay

Money sent, though it was nice

It's not enough for this high price

I wanted you, someone to show

A father's love, I've never known

It hurts me daily and I still cry

You'll never know the pain inside

My heart's at risk and my guard is up

You'll have to fight to earn my trust

20 years without a dad

20 years of feeling sad

I don't know why it came to this

I only know of the time I missed
