Why is it that youve never been there
I thought it was me for years
but now I sit by the phone and realize
that even before this all started,
you werent there
We waited for you by the dinner table
until the food got cold
I asked you to come to parent-teacher conferences,
you never came
I waited by the phone for months,
you didnt call
I ask myself why,
why do I wait for you
when I know well only say,
"Hi, hows it going"
and just the sound of your voice
brings tears to my eyes
Why do I miss you
Why do I love you when
I try so hard to hate you
