Dad -- if You were here

Dad I know I was only 2
Yet I still find it hard to believe
That you left this world
With the knowledge that I love you

I know you weren't around much anyway
But you were still my dad
For 2 years of my life
And for that I thank god and I'm glad

Sometimes I don't believe in god
Isn't he meant to be the good one
If he was real, in my mind I say
There'd be no deaths in the world
No one would be sad
Everyone would be happy, living life to the full
Instead of being scared to leave their house
Afraid of being bombed from Iraqi's and dieing

My point is that you were taken away
At a time in your life where you had
6 children at home, the youngest who wouldn't
Know her father, never have a dad in her life

My life has always been so incomplete
Without you dad, there's no whole of me
I can't give my heart away
It's been broken/incomplete all along

I've been hurt dad, so many times
I was never whole to start with
I do believe that if you were here
I'd be someone different, I'm good but someone better

Someone was taken away from me
When I was just a baby
I never heard your voice say "i love you princess"
I don't have memories of you and me

I don't remember sipping your beer
I don't remember your voice, your looks
I don't remember sitting on your knee
I don't remember you reading me a bedtime story

Even though Mum tells me that
"You just have to look at Michael, he's a spitting image"
He looks just like you in photos dad
Personality is exactly the same I've heard

Even though Steven tells me crap
About how you used to be
I don't want to hear that about you
I want to go back and experience

What it's like to have a Dad
What it's like to have you around
I just want to hear "i love you baby girl"
I want to hug you and sit on your knee
One last time, and never let go.
