By the age I was talking, you barely were home,
Day in and day out, Mom and I were alone.
When I used to watch those bittersweet memories,
Then older I questioned "Are we a family?"
I said "Dad am I right, do you promise to change?
It just seems you're always stuck on the same page."
To your face I can't say this, yet I truly believe,
In childhood you were never a part of me.
Sorry, but I can't leave this alone.
Because why should I live with this pain?
Why do you keep treating me like I'm still 2?
Like I'm just a little kid, so what can I do?
Too blind to see it so why even try?
You say you love me, it feels like a lie.
And I've said "I hate you" many times in the past,
You treated us wrong and I grow up too fast.
Filled with this guilt now, I keep hope alive,
And when we'll be closer, I hope we arrive.
Now all you who have a mom or a dad, treat them like you would a close friend,
Because you never know when it all can come to a tragic end.
You'll ask "Why did I treat you the wrong way I did?
Now I can't give you all my love that I hid."
Don't be upset now, there's still time for you,
Tell your parents you love them and treat them like you do.
Slow, so slow, I noticed how he tried to change.
I won't say "I hate you," you're now part of me,
And one day I hope that we're again family.
I wish and believe that I'll be able to pay back,
From my childhood all the traits that I lacked.
Sorry I acted like such a fool, when I should've showed I love you.
