Dad, you don’t read me stories
You don’t check to see if I’m asleep
I have to find my teddy
You don’t kiss my tears when I weep
You don’t hide from me and say Boo
You don’t make shadows with your hand
You don’t check under my bed for monsters
You don’t make me castles out of sand
Don’t you love me anymore?
Are you tired of me?
Did I do something wrong?
Where are the dreams you made for me?
I love you more than ever
I’m sad at how quick you’ve grown
But the time has come for you to take the lead
The words you need to listen to now
Have to come from a voice that’s your own
