God It Hurts

Even as I sit here tapping on these keys
The pain is so bad that I'm typing from my knees
I never thought I would let them down
I never thought I would'nt be around
I was the only chance they had
I was supposed to be their dad
God it hurts
I promised I would always be there
But I walked away as if I didn't care
To imagine what they now think of me
No longer the man I used to be
In their eyes I am no longer dad
And it hurts, it hurts so bad
God it hurts
From your generosity you gave me them
With the charge to help them win
Teach them well, make sure they know
Bring them up in the way they should go
Make women from girls, and men from boys
Bring character from adversity, words from noise
Show them what is right and good
You gave the charge, and I said I would
God it hurts
What will become of me now Lord
Is the taste of failure my reward
The only thing I desire to be
Is the man that they could see in me
If I am not the man they call
I may not be a man at all
God it hurts
