Lyrics

Key of C  –  March, 2008

Its 3 A.M. and I’m listening to the thoughts of an old man

Who was supposed to be my father, but he walked away back then

As the raindrops fall on the ground outside, there’s a coffee in my hand

But he might as well be a stranger, cuz that’s all he’s ever been

He left my mom with 2 daughters so he could live his life in sin

I guess Jesus says to forgive him, but the anger dwells within

I tried seeing things in a different light, but the light just fades away

I used to sit alone at 7 Bridges just wishin’, wishin’, wishin’ he would stay

———– And I say, why are you telling me now, when my life has just begun

How can you do this to me now. Why did you wait so long? Why’d you wait so long?

He wants to pick up the pieces that he dropped so long ago

But the scars he left when they hit the ground is a pain he’ll never know

I could’ve sworn that the sands of time had been long since washed away

Cuz I never thought in a million, I’d be missin’, missin’, missin’ him this way

REFRAIN: ——————————————————————————

BRIDGE:—–Before you’d come to me and finally right your wrong like a man

Guess me being next to you wasn’t part of your plan

You’re not there in the photographs taken every Christmas day

I walked down the aisle at my wedding, you couldn’t even give me away

REFRAIN: ——————————————————————————
