Dad It's All For You

Every time I needed you

You were never there

Of course you never knew

As you are only just air

Every time I dreamt of you

I could feel alive

Then I would wake up

To find it was all a lie

I don't know how to survive

And I can't do anything right

I wish you were still in my life

All I can do is hug my pillow tight

I miss the way you'd tuck me in

And kiss me goodnight

Now you're no longer here with me

Sleeping seems to be one big fight

I wish you came home

Everyone thinks it's gross

What can I do

I live alone

And all I can do is hold your photo close

Dad, how do I begin a new

I finally wrote your story

Is about how I feel

How you're six feet below

How my heart can never heal

I think of you daily

And yet I feel so blue

But dad can you see

That I've done this all for you

I wish I could've said goodbye

I needed you to be by my side

I told myself I would never cry

But why did you have to die

I think about you everyday

And my heart still becomes sore

Each day I pray that you could stay

In the end

It looks like heaven needed you more.
