Pieces of the Past - Abandoned Lyrics

Tell me did I ever cross your mind?
Did you ever care about my life?
My health, my well being?
The seed you planted
The son you abandoned
Tell me was I ever worth a call?
To see how I was after all?
My mind, my mental state
The life you granted
The son you abandoned

I never wanted anything more
But to be someone in your eyes
To be the son you loved
And not the one you'd hide
(Well I guess I'm not)

How could you do this to your own blood?
How could you have just given up?
You never gave me a chance
Never took a second glance
When you walked away
God I wish you would've stayed

Im not gonna lie but tell the truth
You had me staying up late trying to prove
That I was worth your time and energy
But I guess I wasn't worth a call to see
How I was doing, or what was on my mind
I was only a kid trying to find
A way to get my fathers love and attention
But all I came across was rejection and depression

You coward
How could you give up?
You bastard
Was It easier giving up?
(Yeah?)

I never wanted anything more
But to be someone in your eyes
To be the son you loved
And not the one you'd push aside

How could you do this to your own blood?
How could you have just given up?
You never gave me a chance
Never took a second glance
When you walked away
God I wish you would've stayed

Stay with me, oh god
Just stay with me, oh god please
Stay with me, oh god
Just stay with me
