Hail Mary
I have my fathers eyes
And my mothers grin
And I've carried his name as a heavy burden
For 24 years I carried the blame
But there's no love in a name
Maybe if I held on then you'd come back
You left us once, you left me twice
Replaced us with a white picket fence and nuclear love
You use that cross as a crutch
A crooked dagger just to sever the ties between us
A token problem child with slit wrists and tear stained cheeks
Thinking that all this time because I showed it I was weak
All I ever wanted was to be loved by you
Does my absence keep you awake at night as you think about the person I am?
Or have you accepted your shortcomings as a so called father?
Am I even worth the time to take up that space in your mind?
I knew I was a mistake, I just wish you never said it to my face
I'm so sorry that I wished that you loved me
I'm so sorry that I want you around
Does this make me easier to love?
Knowing that I've become the better person
I've done this all on my own
No thanks to you
And my mothers grin
And I've carried his name as a heavy burden
For 24 years I carried the blame
But there's no love in a name
Maybe if I held on then you'd come back
You left us once, you left me twice
Replaced us with a white picket fence and nuclear love
You use that cross as a crutch
A crooked dagger just to sever the ties between us
A token problem child with slit wrists and tear stained cheeks
Thinking that all this time because I showed it I was weak
All I ever wanted was to be loved by you
Does my absence keep you awake at night as you think about the person I am?
Or have you accepted your shortcomings as a so called father?
Am I even worth the time to take up that space in your mind?
I knew I was a mistake, I just wish you never said it to my face
I'm so sorry that I wished that you loved me
I'm so sorry that I want you around
Does this make me easier to love?
Knowing that I've become the better person
I've done this all on my own
No thanks to you
