Four Corners and a Roof

Oh father dear

How could you?

Abandoned her

And left me too

Denied your sins

And feigned innocence

Feed us lies

For your absence

You betrayed the vows

You once shared with her

By choosing a whore

Over my mother

And you asked why

Why would I?

Rather chose to die

Than forgive and cry

It didn't matter no more

You're none to me

I'm not that little girl

Who once called you daddy

The home we once had

I've always longed for and miss

Four corners and a roof

Filled with ache and bliss

I know it's in the past

And sadly it'll never be

To have that life again

Of having a complete family
