My dad left me when I was 5, and recently it's really been bothering me so I figured I'd write this.

Have You Ever Really Cared?

© Cassey Harrington

What you do makes me cry, But I honestly can't deny That in my heart I truly love you You'll always be my only dad.

You haven't quite been the father I've needed And you haven't always told me what I want to hear You've never made it to anything I've done Except the horse shows that you begun.

I just want to see you every day, I just want to hear your voice every morning. I don't think you understand, That what you've done has torn me apart.

So for now I'll just sit here and wait, For the day that you grow up And realize that you've hurt Not only me but everyone around me.

You've tried to buy my love For so very long I let you. But now that I'm older I understand more and I can't accept that.

I cannot turn to you for what I need, I don't know if you'd ever give it to me. I just want to know, Have you ever really cared?
