I’d like to see your face back then 
The face when you realized you had a kid 
You were probably thinking not again 
You had fully realized what you did

I wish you had felt as if you were on cloud 9 
But I doubt that you had felt that 
I imagine you thinking I have vowed to be a good father 
You obviously had no clue as to what stood ready to bat

Do you regret it? 
Not trying to be there and present 

It’s the only question I’ve always had 
It’s always been lingering in my mind 
Was I really that bad? 
Was I really that blind? 

Was it really worth it? 
When you had great people in your life
You probably didn’t even realize one bit
That you had attacked our hearts with a knife 

Do you regret it? 
Not trying harder to be there and present 

I realized after many years you weren’t meant to be a father 
I realized that you probably didn’t regret what you did
I don’t know why me and my sister even bothered 
It appeared you were fine with it and deemed it good 

The jokes on you now though 
I now have a perfect father 
I knew it was true 
You were no longer the robber 

You couldn’t make me hurt anymore 
You couldn’t make me cry when you wouldn’t show 
I now had so much more 
I could finally let go

I found happiness 
I found a great father who knows how to be one
You may think this is the crappiest thing to say 
But you have been replaced and I have won
