Letter to Dad

Mommy is daddy coming to get me today
I'm not sure baby
But he said he was coming
I'm gonna keep waiting for him
He'll come

When I was young I craved your love so much
But you always let me down
I shed so many tears behind you
I never understood why you ain't come around
But that heartache turned into strength
An my tears dried up like the rain
Now I'm as strong as ever an I thank you for all of that pain

Growin up wasn't easy daddy wasn't in the picture
I was young prayin for a father figure
I felt so lost
An my heart felt empty
Was lookin for daddy's love when my family gave me plenty
I was so damn depressed
Didn't know I could feel that shit so young but I did
He didn't see no fault in his actions
An result of what he did caused me to be damaged
Ion trust a soul
An I push people away cause I know they gon leave me one day
Nobody knows all the pain I've endured
Cause I keep a fake smile on my face
Ion like to open up
I keep my struggles to myself
I don't wanna burden anybody else
I rather do this alone
Then try to explain what's goin on

When I was young I craved your love so much
But you always let me down
I shed so many tears behind you
I never understood why you ain't come around
But that heartache turned into strength
An my tears dried up like the rain
Now I'm as strong as ever an I thank you for all of that pain

I ain't finna fully heal but just know I'ma keep it pushin
Dwellin on the past won't do shit but cause more ruin
Me him don't talk till this day
If he was in front of me right now this is what I'd have to say
Dad you was the first man to ever break my heart I hope you happy
I didn't know your absence would affect me so badly
Now you've got a damaged daughter not believing in love
Cause her own dad couldn't be a man that she could trust
When I was young I would cry cause you weren't there
All my friends had they dad so I thought life ain't treat me fair
But I knew you not being there was a blessing in disguise
I wouldn't be as strong right now if you stayed in my life
But apologize to mom she was workin over time
She put her money to us kids every nickel ever dime
I never heard her complain
But I did see her cry
Being a single mom ain't easy seen it with my own eyes

Momma you did a great job playin the role of both mom an dad
An I couldn't of asked for a better parent
An I know you sacrificed so much for me an my siblings
But just know I'm finna pay you back
I do this for you
I love you momma
