Dad, where were you?

I wanted you to see my prom dress
i wanted you to help me through my exams
i wanted you to help me through this mess
but where were you?

i wanted you to love me like in love you
i wanted to talk to you, like i talk to mum
i wanted hugs and kisses too
but where were you?

i wanted to be a part of your life
i wanted to be someone you could have been proud of
i wanted to help you through all your strife
but where were you?

i wanted you too be there for Christmas, easter and all the rest
i wanted to celebrate a new year with you
i wanted it too be the best
but where were you?

8 months later i finally realise
that you don\'t deserve me
that what you promised me was all lies
where are you?

i now know what you meant when you said goodbye
you meant forever not a while
you meant it by cutting all ties

But still i stand here where you left me
still wishing you were here
still asking where are you?
