Tell Me Why

You didn't make it quit clear

when you said you where going away

All you said was goodbye and that i have to stay

I wanted to know more about what was going on

But all you said is that i have to stay strong

separation is a word i didn't really understand, i was only four

I wish you didn't leave and that you stayed more.

I have to visit the women, who left my heart scared

The smallest distance from you feels so far

Dad i love you, why does this court order make me go

You tell me "Don't worry, because i said so"

I want to stay and be with you

I want to talk and know what you do

I cry when I'm gone, and think of a knife when your not there

The court wants me to stay here but i don't care

I ran away from her because she doesn't know me

You helped me become the man i am and helped me see

I don't want to go Dad just tell why i can't stay

You said..."Well son, it's because your mother ran away"

I remember that night, when she brought her friend

I didn't know him, but it didn't matter then

When Dad got home, he was so upset

He lifted his had, and she said..."I dare you take the hit"

You knew Dad, that you where better, so you put it down

She left, and that is when my life turned all around

But its almost over Dad, we have been through a lot

I love you so much, and that is why i fought

Soon ill get to stay home, and everything will be calm

I will no longer fear the weekend, when the court makes me visit my mom
