Falling Short

I'm starting to lose all hope for you, I've been waiting for you to be a father I know you could be.
I'm fighting a losing battle ain't I?
I'm ashamed of these tears I shed because of you.
I realize I have to let you go if I want to move on, but it hurts thinking about walking away from you.
I know it's what's best, all we do is fight and that's not living daddy.
I don't know about you but every hurtful word you say cuts me, leaving scars on my heart, that will always remain there.
The "I love you's" are starting to sound more like lies then anything.
I just don't know what to do?
Every time I try to let you go I remember all the best memories of us and it's harder to break the hold it has.
You can't show me the love I want you too, it's wrong of me to keep asking it of you.
My heart wants to believe that you'll be the father that I want and need but my common sense knows better then that.
