I understand how you couldn't be there For school or sports I understand that you couldn't be there for Christmas or my birthdays You were working Always working But you know what I don't understand How you couldn't at least call or stop by Even if it was just for a few minutes And when you do You yell and scream Telling me about how I'm not good enough That I am a failure A waste of a good name My life plays in front of you You didn't hear my pleading and crying Where the hell have you been Have you been well? Getting everything you wanted? You don't seem to notice when I'm hurt When I skip a meal Yet I still notice when you are tired and feeling down That's the problem here I've been there for everything you do and try for I supported you even when I knew you would fail You haven't done **** You don't see when I am unhappy You don't notice when I don't come out of my room for days I am never going to be the best there ever was It is just not going to happen Just like how you aren't going to be there for me I get that now You won't be there for me And I won't be there for you

I understand how you couldn't be there For school or sports I understand that you couldn't be there for Christmas or my birthdays You were working Always working But you know what I don't understand How you couldn't at least call or stop by Even if it was just for a few minutes And when you do You yell and scream Telling me about how I'm not good enough That I am a failure A waste of a good name My life plays in front of you You didn't hear my pleading and crying Where the hell have you been Have you been well? Getting everything you wanted? You don't seem to notice when I'm hurt When I skip a meal Yet I still notice when you are tired and feeling down That's the problem here I've been there for everything you do and try for I supported you even when I knew you would fail You haven't done **** You don't see when I am unhappy You don't notice when I don't come out of my room for days I am never going to be the best there ever was It is just not going to happen Just like how you aren't going to be there for me I get that now You won't be there for me And I won't be there for you
So, **** you
