Flow

I wish you'd realize how much we needed you growing up.

How simple our lives could've been.

But I guess that doesn't matter, does it?

You're off with your new woman trying to have your kid.

While we wait here and hope to get better.

You've been the cause all along.

Yes that one small mistake changed our whole future.

And I see you don't even bother to ask.

See you had the chance

To do good.

And to be good.

To us and our mother.

But you chose them and now you're just gone.

Not that you were ever really there.

I gotta say that's a great choice you made there daddy.

To go out and get caught doing what you do.

When you should've been home!

You could've been good daddy.

But i guess it comes back to the same deal.

You made the wrong choice.

I hope I didn't forget to tell you, but

Hey dad I'm depressed.

Yea daddy they put me on meds and everything.

You wanna know why?

Well I guess you don't.

But I'll tell you anyway.

You remember those nights we spent with you?

Yea that first summer in Mexico.

Remember what you used to do late at night?

Well daddy it came back and hit me even harder.

You see my friends laughed and joked around.

About that one word.

And well dad that day I was hospitalized cuz I had a panic attack in the middle of class.

Oh another thing

My arms, they look great.

Yea you know with scars all over them cuz I'm oversensitive.

I wonder why that is daddy

Well my birthdays coming up

I hope you remember to call since its the only time I get to hear your voice.
