• I close my eyes and hope and dream that you will be here one day.
    But when I open my and see that your still gone my heart goes astray.
    All these years I've longed for your presence and your love,
    but aparently I'm not important enough.
    My momma says "He doesn't know what he's missin out on."
    I cry every night wishing you would come home.

    Is it that you don't love me or that you just don't care.
    You must not notice that I want you here.
    Are you busy doing other things?
    Is that why your not here bringing joy and glee?
    Or did you just forget about me?

    You must not know what its like being a fatherless child.
    because if you did you'd surely be around.
    My heart is saying, "Just be patient, relax, he'll come back. He loves you. He just has things he needs to do."
    My mind is saying, "Drop him! Kick him to the curb! He's not the father figure you deserve! He doesn't care about you or your feelings. He doesn't care how much you hurt."

    I long so much to listen to my heart.
    But it seems my mind is so right.
    Maybe I should let go.
    Maybe we really should be apart.

    It's been seven years of heartaches and pains.
    Sometimes I wish my feelings for you would just go away.
    But it's hard to let go of feelings that I've held on to for such a long time
    These feelings are a part of me now, there mine.

    Maybe one day you'll think of me and decide to come back in my life
    Until then I'll be waiting with my heart full of grief and my mind full of strife.
    Me all by myself.
    The fatherless child.
