Never thought of

Maybe if you were there
i would have a reason to love you
and a reason to care

but what you did with your life
i didnt get to choose
i would have done things diffrently
if i was walking in your shoes

when you were watching the game
and on your shirt i would tug
you would get so mad
well im sorry for just wanting a hug

maybe if mom didnt do all the work
she would've played catch with me
she could have been a better dad
than you would ever be

you'd get off work
and head straight to the bar
wouldnt walk home
oh no, you'd drive the car

come home and freak out
all you did was yell
it was just hate for yourself
that i could tell

you wouldn't go to sleep
but instead you'd pass out
you were an alcoholic
without a doubt

you would throw things
to show your anger
you werent a father figure
more of a stranger

not once with me
did you play a game
and i would bet a hundred dollars
you couldnt even guess my name

in the end...

you became the dad
who i would never love
and i became the son
who was never thought of
