There I was ten years old
waitin' in my room for him to come home
and I just knew he'd be so mad
even though I begged my mother not to, she told my dad.
There was no denyin' I let him down
but instead of being angry
he put his arms around me and said
in the sunlight or the rain brightest nights or darkest days
I'll always feel the same way
whatever road you may be on
know your never too far gone my love is there wherever you may be
just remember that you'll always be my baby.
There I was twenty-one
oh I was so ashamed of what I'd done
on a country road parked one night
what started out so innocent
crossed the line
there was no denyin' I let God down
but instead of being angry he let his love surround me and I heard
in the sunlight or the rain brightest nights or darkest days
I'll always feel the same way
whatever road you may be on
know your never too far gone
my love is there wherever you may be
just remember that you'll always be my baby
yeah yeah.
There he is my little man
I'm sure he'll get in trouble every now and then
and I pray to God that when he does
I'll be just as understanding as my father was
'cause the last thing that I want to do is let him down
so instead of being angry
I'm gonna throw my arms around him and I'll say
in the sunlight or the rain brightest nights or darkest days
I'll always feel the same way yeah whatever road you may be on
know your never too far gone my love is there wherever you may be
just remember that you'll always be my baby
be my baby
There are only a few songs out there that really hit me hard...and this is definately one of them. From the whole Dad part to the God part. I tear up everytime I hear this. I recieved a birthday card from my dad today in the mail and it seems that he always knows exactly what to say to make me feel guilty about something that has happened. All his cards say the same. "Sorry for not being a better dad, for not giving you what you may need, for not being rich. Sorry for letting you down, but I'll always love you..." I mean am I being the bitch here? Should I give him a 847th chance or should I just shake my head and walk away. Sometimes I'm so confused about what to do. I feel bad that he blaims her for how mine and his relationship has ended up, but she know's it's not her fault. She understands. I just wish I could show him how harsh he is sometimes. Even though it's a losing battle. The threats are more than I can take at times. And I take my anger out on those around me...when really it's killing me more than I can say. I listen to sappy music over and over until it's replaying itself in my dreams.
He get's angry that I push him away. She get's angry that I won't open up. And my blood...geez that's a whole different story. I can't even look at him these days. The drugs have taken over. Not drugs. But his "Friends". I'm so confused. I just want to walk away from it all. I want to wake up one day and find myself walking aimlessly down the highway...with luggage in one hand and a thumb raised on the other. But who doesn't? I mean do we all live this fairytale life. We all act like we are perfectly ok...but are we ever really? Or are we just acting. I mean...we all have these parts of our life that we want to lock away and forget existed, but we never really can. It's like a disease. a blood stricken disease that has haunted me my whole life.
