I always tried to be your hero
I always tried to be so strong
I always tried to be a warming smile
whenever life went wrong…
I always tried to be your teacher
I always tried to be your friend
I always tried to calm your fears
when the dark of night descends…
I always wanted to be your father
I always wanted to be your dad
I always wanted to play my part
then somehow I was bad?
I could no longer be your hero
I could no longer help you grow
I could only be so far away
from the true love that I know…
I can only now just ponder
of the father that I've been
as I live each day as sunset falls
amid my own bad dream.
