All You Give Me Is Lies

I'm 16 years old dad,
Where have you been?
I never considered you my kin.
You were never there,
And you're still not here.
I should've know better,
I shouldn't have been stupid.
I shouldn't have had any hope,
But I'll cope.

All you give me is lies.
Lies, lies, lies.
God sometimes I just wanna cry.
I've been through so much in my short life,
You were never there to help me through.

You only came into my life again,
Because my mother was ready to commit me,
I was out of control.
You said it might have been your fault,
You've never been there.
Oh god, I wish you could see.
How it hurts,
When you raise my hopes,
And then dash them.

All you give me is lies.
That is all I'll ever get, lies.
You said you'd be here now,
You don't call, and when you do,
Say "Hi how are you?" and then hang up.
You were supposed to come see me,
I to see you, you to see me.
Me to see a little brother I never even knew I had.
But you've backed out,
My mom said you would.
And here I was defending a man I never met,
Because I always had this hope,
You wouldn't desert me.
But it's a fool's dream,
I dream.

All you give me is lies, dad.
Why?
Sometimes I wonder if I should have let you back in my life.
Sometimes I want to just scream,
I hate you!
Because sometimes I honestly do.
I've been hurt enough,
I've been through enough pain.
But it's pretty pathetic,
When pretty much everyone hurts me.

But you'll never see this,
And I don't want you too.
All I want is to be able to know the dad,
I never knew.
But I won't,
Because you lie,
You make promises,
Then break them,
You probably don't even blink an eye.

All you gave my mother was lies.
You lied to my mother for years.
Hit her,
And paid no attention to her tears.
I hated you for that,
I still resent you for it,
But I forgave,
I do that too much.
I'm sorry if maybe I'm not what you expected.
But I was a daughter,
Forgotten.

I'm sick of the lies dad,
But you hurt me real bad.
Straighten it out,
And show me what family is all about!
