"Abandon"


My father always was my hero
No one could equal him on any given day
I thought our love could never stray
Then something happened
And it took our joy away

I sent a letter that proved hard for him
He vanished from my sight
Like a ghost within the night
He disappeared form me that day
Without a word but to stay so far away
But I'll never feel that I abandoned him that way

For so many years we got by
Now we cannot see eye to eye
We can't see eye to eye

For so many years we got by
Then something happened and it took our joy away

He had a new life that he needed more
What made him even choose
I'll never know what for

For so many years we got by
Now we can't see eye to eye

Some ways we're so much alike
Some ways we're like day and night
Some ways we're like day and night

My father always looked or loyalty
But in the end I can't believe he failed me
He kept from things that would not comfort him
His own past life and the darkness within

From a life of abandonment and fear
From a life of abandonment and fear
I was the last piece of his past
To neatly square away at last

My father always tried to get along
Not quite a measure of just how strong
As long as daughter always played along
Nothing would go wrong
So long as daughter never was too strong

Some ways we're so much alike
Some ways we're like day and night
Some ways we're like day and night

My father always looked for loyalty
But he looked so hard that is
What he could not see
To self-deny if you ask me

I thought my father was my closest friend
But that was up until our very end
In the end so much feeling would rescind

My mother said that he was insecure
That he measured things through
The lens of his own fear
From a life of poverty so near
From a life of abandonment and fear
From a life of abandonment and fear

My father always looked for loyalty
But he looked so hard that is what he could not see

My father always kept us close to him
Hoping we would always stay within
My father always kept us close to him
Like the outside world was only there to shun
Like the outside world would never let us in

Then I learned things he refused to see
And liked the world more than me
Some things in the world he could not see

My father always looked for loyalty
When I left to marry he saw abandonment by me
My father usually had my loyalty
But it wasn't everywhere we wanted it form me
And it never was enough he proved if you ask me

Some said we're too much alike
Some ways we're like day and night

All I know is I still love the man
And that I know that he will never understand
Never understand

My father always was my hero
I always thought he was the only one so strong
But I was so very wrong
My father always looked for loyalty
But he looked so hard he has lost it now in me

All I know is I still love the man
In that I know that very few could understand
I thought my father was my closest friend
And what we lost we could never have again
And nothing will begin to heal the endless pain
But the miracles of sunshine from rain
The only thing to fix the pain
I saw the weather change form rain

My father always wanted loyalty
It wasn't always what he gave to me

My father always wanted loyalty so bad
But he never recognized what he really had
My father always was my hero
But in the end I can't believe he failed me

My father always was my hero
My father always was my hero.....
