False Family

You had the nerve to come back and try to buy my love like nothing happened
As if that's some kind of consolation for being abandoned
I've always been your outlier
Well, you're just another liar

I can't even pick up a phone and call you
So I guess I'll just leave this message here
Are you proud of who you didn't raise?
I wonder if you'll see who I turned out to be
The repercussions of dodging your responsibility
Turns out I've got some fight in me

And every time I hear my last name
I'm reminded, I wasn't good enough for you
So tell me, what did I do?
What did I do to you?

I know there's worse things in this world that I've seen
But sometimes it doesn't make sense
I wonder about how different life would've been
Or what I'd say if I ever saw you again

I couldn't say that I miss you dad, because I wasn't worth your time
And I know that you don't want me in your life
But I'll be just fine
Because I'm more than alright
Without you here

And every time I hear my last name
I'm reminded, I wasn't good enough for you
So tell me, what did I do?
What did I do to you?

I'm just fine

And I'll never be the father that you were to me
You're not really family to me
