April 1st

[allthewayin]

Here I am again, it's April 1st
All the days of the year, this one's the worst
Left behind, a son and two daughters
With no one here to call their father

Cause you're not here, and never will be
Why did you have to leave me
How is a boy supposed to stand
Without the guidance of a man

I'd like to say "I miss you dad"
But you can't miss what you never had
Won't ever be able to hear your voice
Mad because I don't have a choice

Cause you're not here, and never will be
Why did you have to leave me
How is a boy supposed to stand
Without his father's open hand

It's really hard to let go
Of all the things I'll never know
People tell me I'm a lot like you
But I'll always wonder if it's true

Cause you're not here, and never will be
Why did you have to leave me
Now a man I try to become
I hope you'd be proud to call me your son
