I dont even know where to start/ The fact that Im writing this song is already breaking my heart/ I was far too young to see you depart/ It tore me apart/ To this day when I think of you its still just as hard to fight the tears after all of these years/ Cuz as a 6 year old my biggest fear would be the day my dad wasnt here/ But I had no idea at the time that that day was so near/ The date has been seared in my mind for the rest of my years/ 1996, it was the 8th of July/ a 25 year old guy had gone & taken his life/ You left behind 2 children & didnt even think twice/ Cuz in your mind you were taking wrongs & makinem right/ The day my momma said my dad had gone to Heaven was the day my life had gone to hell/ I hadnt even reached the age of 7/ Now Im demented & full of resentment/ Unanswered questions led to aggression/ I even inherited your depression/ But who knew your oldest son would be molded into believing that this world was just a cold, lonely place with nowhere to go/ No one to talk to/ But why even bother?/ Thank God I got a little brother/ I couldnt fathom leaving him or my mother/ Now when I think of you all I can do is cry/ Wish you had tried to seek advice/ It wasnt your time to die/ Feet on your grave as I look to the sky & wonder why/ If you had looked into my eyes prior, would you still reply Goodbye? *04/20/1971 - 07/08/1996*
