The "Alcoholic" Angel

Many would say he's an angel
Or a father with a caring heart,
But you don't live in my house
Where each day it begins to start.

He'll tell me I look beautiful
Than tear me all apart,
He doesn't seem to care

He scared away my mother
Tore her from the inside out,
And everyday I wondered
How she lived with so much doubt.

But now I seem to realize
That she had to get away,
Even if that meant leaving me
There was no way she could stay.

I love my father dearly
Even though he's an angel disguised in liquor,
And I'll tell you from the bottom of my heart
If he doesn't stop now he's going to die quicker.
