Mind.Mill - fatherlesshood Lyrics

Hey kid, I heard you were looking for me
What can I do for you?
What do you want from me?
I gave you what I could give
Can't give it all
Can't give you more
No more
Oh hey kid, what did you expect from me?
I was young and foolish, wasn't going to, didn't want to
Take all this adult responsibility
Remember I was just a kid
I offered a way out, would pay for it
She said no, she would deal with it
So she carried on
I didn't want anything to do with it
So I left, didn't look back
Hey kid, you kinda look like me?
Maybe your mother was right
I can't remember her name
Love only lasted one night
I was looking for money and fame
And you understand this would get in the way
At least I gave you my name
Hey kid, take a good look around
What do you see?
I can't take care of myself or anyone else properly
What kind of father figure would I be?
You are better off on your own?
You'll see, all on your own
But not alone, long time don't hear about your mom
How has she been?
I heard she was kinda sick
Where did it all lead?
I'm sorry to hear that she didn't make it
I meant to call her, just too busy with my own shit
But you turned out okay, didn't you?
I just don't know what else to say
I sent some cash sometimes
I hope it helped but
I was never meant to be a dad
Didn't want to roleplay, believe me
It was the best for both of us
And remember that I do love you
I just don't know how to show it
Love is a funny thing
Never got it from my mom
Never got it from my dad
Never got it from the streets
Didn't know exactly what it was
I know this isn't comforting
But I couldn't give what I've never had
So kid, please stop calling me daddy
So kid, please stop calling me dad
Please stop calling me dad
Cause I really, really
Don't deserve that
