Why don't you love me dad?

Why don't you love me?

What is it I have done?

You love my pretty sisters

Why not your first born son?

For many years I've watched you

Cuddle and hold them close

Why can't you love me too?

Just like for them you have done?

Why don't you love me?

What more could I have done?

I tried to be close to you but

Your indifference always stung

I see you get on with the girls

Trying to act like their loving dad

But with me it is a chore you find

We just cannot seem to get along

Why don't you love me?

What has happened to make it so?

You are always angry with me

I cannot seem to get it right!

For so long I've just held back

Tried to understand your thoughts

But you cannot seem to understand

No matter what it is I try to do

So why don't you love me?

Is it because of your early life?

I know you lost your dad at six

You were taken from your mum

Placed into that cold boy's home

They were supposed to show you love

But things happened there to hurt you

Things you could never overcome!

Why don't you love me? 

I begin to see the plot

It will take me many long years

To get over what changed you too

I don't know how I will make it

I don't know if I can forgive

My anger keeps me distant

I have my own life to live!
