I think too much
To be accepted and not rejected
I am the outcome of an absent father
I am the product of a single mother
She hid her doubt
To keep my heart safe
I shut my mouth
Afraid hers might break
How do you
Even begin to tell
Your child they were never wanted
Father
What did I do wrong?
Father
How could you do wrong?
You did wrong
Quick to turn your back
Even though it made me feel like trash
My mother swore to me
"We'll be fine without him"
As she put me into my bed
And I watched her weep
The lullaby of a mother's cry
Alone
And undeserving of her pain
To be accepted and not rejected
I am the outcome of an absent father
I am the product of a single mother
She hid her doubt
To keep my heart safe
I shut my mouth
Afraid hers might break
How do you
Even begin to tell
Your child they were never wanted
Father
What did I do wrong?
Father
How could you do wrong?
You did wrong
Quick to turn your back
Even though it made me feel like trash
My mother swore to me
"We'll be fine without him"
As she put me into my bed
And I watched her weep
The lullaby of a mother's cry
Alone
And undeserving of her pain
