Happy Father's Day
Did it hurt when you lost me?
Did you even care?
Because it broke me, you see.
And that’s just not fair
To be faced with a relationship I couldn’t repair
Does it hurt you as much as it hurts me,
To remember how we used to be?
Each laugh a lie,
One step closer to goodbye
As every knot that bonded us began to untie.
When did my love for you
Turn into fear?
Relentless anxiety
Whenever you’re near.
A fear full of disdain
Caused by all the pain
On my heart like a stain
Whose vigor won’t wane
And there’s nothing you could say
That could make this agony go away
Not that you would, anyway.
I wish I could hurt you
The way you hurt me
So you could know what I’ve been through
While you’re living free
But at the end of the day,
That’s not the way
To get you to stay.
So all I can say
Is Happy Father’s Day.
