Who am I ?
For 39 years I was made from love
Knowing who I was and
Where I came from
She'd say you get your maths head from your dad
Your English from me
Little white lies that I failed to see
I looked in the mirror from an early age
Staring at the reflection highlighted on the page
I went downstairs and told her
That I looked like my dad
I should have realised by her eyes
That i was being had
It's my own damn fault for asking
Just after her passing
Never thought I'd hear those words
No he's not your father
You were made by another
No fireworks for you
no amount of love
Just a quick one in the back room store
Some prick and my mum who's obviously a ....
Left with unanswered questions
An emptiness, a void
So many horrible emotions
I am sad and so annoyed
"She's the image of his daughter"
That's at the forefront of my mind
Someone else who looks like me
But don't know how to find
I can live my life with anger
Or choose to be free
It's the million dollar question
Staring back at me
A songbird sat beside me
Angelic, beautiful and true
She sung the ballads of her life
for me to hear
She made me feel brand new
My soul now has a life long friend
So I've chosen to be free
I'm looking forward to our memories
Thanks to Bert and Ernie
