Carol's Story
My Father (just a title nothing more)
Leaving behind others to take your place,Carrying on your name, walking around with your face, Knowing you go left behind,
Wondering what's on my fathers mind.He didn't even think to try. To leave my mother with tears going down her face,
Left me only to embrace, Only for me to ask her why? My mother can give me answers; My father left behind.
For he can give his love to another, But can't give his love to me, My mother would give her life, As she's given life to me,
My father I hope to love. Will he ever really love me? Can You Hear Me! Where were you when the tears fell? When the blood began to flow?
Where were you when I was scared? When all my skies were gray, And I lost all hope? Where were you through all the years?
When it all began? Where were when I was hurt and bleeding, when I needed you? Where were you when I was sad and in need of you to protect?
When there was no strength left, And where the hell are you now? When it all came down and the walls were crashing in,
All was lost and gone, and when I fought? Where were you when I stayed up and cried myself to sleep each night,
and I tossed and turned? And where are you now? That I'm stuck and there's nowhere to turn? So I ask you this where will you be,
When the walls come down again? Where will you turn when the tables turn? And there is no wear to hide or no one to blame?
He can take and make a life and keep living on, But what is it like to live without a father,He doesn't even know, Because he doesn't even care, He left me alone.
Just a title Nothing more I am sorry to say We have no rapport Better this way Than playing pretend This is the way I have come to contend
Just a title...Expand for more
Nothing more I'm finally able to close the door. You did this yourself All on your own I hope you like feeling alone
I have tried too much Now I am tired of holding the clutch!
You are blind to see why I am the way that I am. I had some time to reflect and now I have a wall to protect and asked myself...What does the word Father mean to me?
Just a title Nothing more Is what I have decided for; You made your choice Now you must lie I saw your chosen side.
I tried to believe in something when I met you and decided YOU are Just a title Nothing more I am sorry to say We have no rapport Better this way Than playing pretend
This is the way I have come to contend YOU are Just a title Nothing more I'm finally able to close the door!!. You did this yourself All on your own I hope you like feeling alone
Just a title Nothing more 'Father' now I shut the door!! You are blind You can never see All the anger built up in me! I hated life I wanted out! You didn't care you were only 30 miles from my home
I felt so alone! Thought I didn't need anyone; Turns out I just needed a dad.The black sheep I was never apart Furthest away from your heart Things have changed
I'm a grown woman now I don't need you You still feel cold. I'm now out of sight Out of mind I don't need you, I'll do alright I don't need your blessing Or your cash
Without your help I'll make a splash Land on my feet with a crash I'm happier than ever My life¿s brand new And most of all I'm not like you!!!!!!
When my friend Wayne Duval and I would rollerskate all over Brookline the point projects down hills ride our bigwheels in the rain or whatever and couldn't be away from each other for a second we always had to be busy...
