This will catch your eye
As it caught my eye
Source divine
I could be wrong again
But I see...now
That with every beginning
There is an ending
There is no point to anything

You can't be anything
Not even a father
To me, your poor little daughter
You can't be anything
And neither can I

You took everything from me
You took everything about me
You took my life from me
And I have to start over
You gave me life
Just to give me strife
You gave me spite
With my malice
I will ignite

You can't be anything
You can't catch a glimpse
And you won't catch my eye
For I only see through lies
That I believed true
You'll never be anything
Because your life is ending

This will catch your eye
As it caught my eye
But only we will know
The story behind

This web of lies

listen, i know the feeling. my dad has not talked to me since i was 12yrs. old. he left my mom and remarried. i understand from my uncle that he's sick. i really wish i could understand his actions and why he did what he did. i just wish he would help my babay brother. i cannot believe how selfish people
are. you be encouraged and keep it real and keep in touch with me. i will tell you more about myself, okay?
