We were happy once, I think,

Before our ship began to sink.

I remember your smile,

Though it's been quite a while.

Back before the alcohol,

Back before the risen wall.

Back before the yelling

And all the things that you've been telling

Me for all these years,

Through all these tears.

You say that I'm worthless,

That I'm nothing but a mess.

You say that I'm stupid,

That I don't know how to keep a lid

On my emotions and big mouth-

You say these things and life goes south.

You say the things you think I think-

Causing tears that back I blink

Because you're wrong.

You've been wrong for so long...

I put my faith in you,

All the things you say untrue,

I don't know who you are you see,

Every time you try to break me.

You think you know what I do,

But really, you haven't got a clue.

You don't know me, never did-

You still think that I'm a kid

But I'm not

So your opinions can go rot.

I try to hold onto you,

To say things I'll never rue,

To be kind and to be gentle,

To not bash in your thick fat skull.

I know you want to die,

And I know also why.

But I want to hold you close to me,

Because I love you, daddy,

Even though you are my foe-

I love you enough to let you go.
