About You
He called me today
Was concerned
Spoke for awhile
Asked how I was doing
Said at one point
That you were worried
Had asked about me
Appreciated the sentiment
But knew he was lying
Loved him for trying
Never told him
I knew the truth
Because he had tried
To make me feel better
You do not care
One way or another
What happens to me
What happens to her
Your brother cares
Tried to cover up for you
Why do you do this
Why do you not care
Show some concern
Grow up
Take responsibility
Stop letting others
Cover for you
Be a man
Not a little boy
Why should she
Our daughter
Suffer
For your immaturity
Your alcoholism
Or your anger
She'll never see
My disillusionment
Over you
Or how deeply
I still love you
But what do I say
When she's older
When she asks
"Where's daddy?"
