It takes more than sperm to be a Father,
Every man can cum,
But only a few tend to stay.
So yeah...
You may be a doner,
You may have swept Mom off her feet once or twice,
You may have even cared for a few measly seconds,
but none of that matters now.
Cause it takes time to raise a child.
It takes work to pay the bills.
It takes effort to solve a problem,
especially one of mine, but you wouldn't know that, would you?
No...
Because it takes you being there to know somebody.
It takes conversation to get to know them even more
It takes a few seconds to send a text.
And it only takes one to decide to leave,
but you knew that one already, didn't you?
Cause it only took "opportunity" for you to go.
It took some girl at a random bar for you to stop visiting.
It took a baby boy to be born for you to start calling less.
And it took a baby girl for you to be stuck out there...
But you don't mind that.
Do you?
Because, I guess, it only took another family for you to forget about the one you left behind...
and it only took me 8 years to wake the fuck up
and give up on the idea of you ever coming back.
But you don't mind that either.
Do you?
Great! Neither do I.
Because it takes time together to miss you when we're apart.
