Why did my father leave my mother to raise me alone?

I guess he thought that I would never get grown.

I guess he wants me to understand why,

Or maybe that's the difference between the truth and a lie.

Or maybe, it's because he wanted to be free.

But what did that have to do with him and me?

I guess I had to learn to understand,

That being a father, doesn't make you a man.

And even though, I always wonder why?

I still think he’s a really nice guy.
