Emotionless

I've been making promises all week,

Telling all these men that they're the ones for me,

But I have to be honest with you,

I don't feel anything,

I'm just on a roller coaster of emotions

and now I'm going for the loop,

And everyone behind me is screaming,

But I'm just along for the ride,

I don't think you understand my situation,

My dad left when I was nine,

and I've never been the same since that time,

He was in my life,

and loved me,

Then he up'd and walked away,

I don't think you can even say he loved me,

Men don't do that to their daughters,

I guess there's suppose to be some kind of unbreakable bond,

Well we showed them wrong,

Just like we always did,

I meet new guys every night,

Who hold me close and tell me they love me,

But I hate all the words,

I just smile and tell them I need to be getting home,

Maybe one night I won't want to go home,

But I doubt it,

I don't feel a thing.
