Child Abandonment

I go to sleep hoping that tomorrow you will be here
Wake up to see that your not there
So I try again while praying harder
Only to see if you will be a better father

I never knew why you left
Or never knew why you cared more about the streets
More then you ever cared about me
When did it just become about you and not "we"

I wish you were with me
So we could sing songs around the Christmas tree
Open presents just you and me
But I know that's just something I wish we could be

Why couldn't you rock me to sleep
Or at least help me count some sheep
You promised we would never be apart
And I believed you
But then you left so its breaking my heart

I cry every night
Holding my eyes closed tight
Preparing for another day

All I ever wanted from you was a simple hey
While you lay in your own bed
I'm sitting here thinking
I love you was the last thing you said
