Always played the victim role

Because you were never there

Never talked to each other for an extended time
Because you never really cared

Constantly putting up a front in front of others

But behind closed doors, we barely know each other

I didn't ask to be brought into this world

Or for you to father me

It was between you and my mother

And yet, you still rarely acknowledge me

How am I suppose to feel when I see you?

Am I suppose to pretend and jump for joy?

I've spent far too many years trying to get through to you

Now that I'm all grown up, it doesn't matter as much

I just know the truth, which I had to learn the hard way

I stop pondering or shedding tears

After a while, it just becomes useless

Not getting to know me like you should

It's your lost and it's all on you

One day you just might regret what you didn't do

It's a shame to be a deadbeat

What do you really profit from it?

It's an undesirable title

That no one should obtain

But to you it doesn't make a difference

If it did, you would have did more

I bet if someone asked you about me

You would lie with a straight face

Telling them some bogus tales

Because you just don't know me and aren't trying to get to know me

I wouldn't lie if I was approached and you came up

I'm far too real for the all the lies

I'll just let them know, what I don't know about you

Instead of pretending and telling them what they want to hear

There is no shame, so I want front about anything

I've made it this far without your support and I'm still rising.
