You Said....

You said it was your last drink, 

I believed you.........

Bartender said your there every night.

 

You said you'd be home early,

I believed you.........

It's 3am and your still not home.

 

You said wed go away somewhere for my birthday, 

I believed you.........

But you forgot (again).

 

You said you'd keep in touch,

I believed you.........

We didn't talk for four straight years.

 

You said you wanted to be in my life, 

I believed you.........

But you never tried.

 

You said you're sick, 

I believed you.........

But your an alcoholic.

 

You said you're my father, 

I believed you.........

But 18 years of broken beliefs doesn't make you a father it makes you untrustworthy.

 

In the end I always knew the truth, 

I couldn't believe you.........

You were never actually believable. 

 

Through every slurred word, 

I couldn't believe you.........

"It was the alcohol talking," as you'd like to say.
