I'm sorry my son
For the wrongs I've done
I'm sorry for all the pain
All the tears you've shed
And for all the times you've bled
I regret the years
That I've been lost in the bottle
Even though it made me hollow
I still chose it over you
And took all that anger and frustration out on you
How could I've been a blind fool
I even drove your mother to hate
Not only me
But her only son
It wasn't your fault that I was a useless bum
I am truly sorry for causing you pain
For leaving you without shelter from the rain
I know deep within my heart you'll never forgive me
But know this I promise to change
And be the father you would have wanted had you lived.
