summary: dad issues

i am a thousand miles away
from all the words you have to say
a million steps from your words
finally free from your curse
a family bound by only name
and only power and only gain
i am free from your restrain
and i will learn to love again
a father's promise is to care
but my father was never there
not a day outside my life
but every day was constant strife
i want to say that i'll be strong
and learn a lesson, sing a song
but how am i sure i'll get along
if mine own won't love me as a wife?
and how can i be certain
that he won't throw the same curses?
that he won't beat me to the ground
when i come back around
i am a thousand miles away
and still uncertain every day
if i will ever get away
if i can ever be okay
