I See Me In You
Late at night
I forced myself to sleep
Hearing you yell
You didn't even seem to care
I was only a child
When I needed you
The most you were nowhere to be found
I thought maybe you would change,
For me I'm so mad about
Our past
You never let me cry
Holding all my feelings in
Knowing it makes them worse
I always had to be
A "big kid" does it make you mad?
I wasn't the boy you really wanted
I grew up and you missed it all
You're gone so far away
When I'm still learning
Will you ever be here?
Or do we not matter do you still care or
Are my eyes open, now?
To what's more important
To you
I don't want to turn out like you
Even though I see me In you
Our whole family suffers
From your lies including us,
Your kids
Are the stories you tell
Always the truth or just another lie
To make us feel better why do you hide?
Behind the phone,
Your drinks,
The distance do you have a real answer?
To begin our truth
Are you really changing?
I need,
I want,
I wish
To believe you understand
All the pain you've put me through
Just wishful thoughts I cannot change
What you've done
I must accept never sharing with you
My feelings afraid for the call
At two in the morning never knowing
You may leave our side
I love you with all my heart
Even though it hurts so much I'll never
Walk away are you willing to try?
To use the phone to end the
Drinks to close the distance because
I do see me in you
