Dream of Me

Step Up To Fatherhood

All of the lines keep spinning in my head,
Stuck on repeat saying I'm better off dead,
I never knew just how low I let you beat me,
I'll never know how I ever let you hold me,
Those pretty eyes begging you to leave me lonely,
And you caved in said she was like the old me,

If I ever changed it was only to be better,
To be your girl and be worthy of your love letters,
But now your promises are laying broken on the floor,
You picked me up and then you dropped me for some stupid whore,
I used to love your arms and all that we stood for,
It was love it was strong and now the bond is there no more,
You cut me off like the blade cuts through my skin,
Right from the start I never should have let you in,

But now I'm proud of the person that I am,
My own two feet are stronger now and I can finally stand,
By myself I never thought I could be good,
But now I am and I am doing exactly what I should,
Looking on into the brightness of better tomorrows,
A stronger woman letting go her of her bitter sorrows,
I have a soul that needs love care and affection,
I'm capable of this I can offer my protection,
To those who need it and baby that's not you,
All you ever were and what I missed is you're a fool,
A poison and a plague dampening my defences,

But now they're coming back and you can trust in stronger fences,
So go on find somebody who could ever love a monster,
I don't think you can no sir not even your daughter,
If she's like me she'll only see the danger you've become,
To her, to you, to almost everyone,

You got vicious tall and greedy stepping on everyone's head,
What did you achieve because you sure didn't get ahead,
You're falling far behind and you're only dropping further,
I don't get how you thought that you could ever be a father,
There are other things in life that are not alcohol and cards,
You better step it up or else you'll only break more hearts,

I want our little angel to look at you like you're king,
As though you are her hero and you are her everything,
So fix this bloody mess and get your head in the right game,
Surely love is better than getting fortune and fame,
So hold your hand out once more to a tender loving soul,
The smile on her little face should be your highest goal,

I'll help you if you need it but you have to be a man,
You have to tell me now or you'll slip down the slope again,
Don't fall out of connection or else I will never call,
Then you'll lose your family and never have it all.
