I was hoping you would see me off
I was hoping you would say goodbye
I was hoping you would take the time
To wish me luck before I took the sky
I still have a bag that reads your name
Just in case you wanna stop on by
I was hoping you would see me off
I was hoping you would be that guy

I still write about you every time
I want to think about the past
I still see your face on the reasons and examples
Exactly why love will never last
You broke me

I still put a band-aid on the wounds
I still fear the day I tell the truth
I still think about the day I packed my bags and left
The day the sky revealed my father wasn't you
Emotionally

Though you tried with all your might
And it might not be alright to bring you down
But hold me
Accountable
I thought long and hard and now I know
Sometimes the only father you have is in the sky

But I was hoping you would see me off
I was hoping you would say goodbye
I was hoping you would say those words
*But I know you’ll never be that guy
