I don’t know what I did
For dad to walk out on me
Before my first birthday
It hurts me everyday in my dream
What am I supposed to do?
To justify that the world is not mean
This is a burden I tried to get rid off
For I never knew love
She is a stranger to me
What is a happy family supposed to be?
Before I could have a life, it was already over
Maybe because I am prone to anger
Makes me to be naive
I wonder if I would live long
Enough to have my own kids
I have been on the street since I was five
I was forced to be a man
No one around to lend a helping hand
They told me keep away from stress
How could I when the sky is always clouded
If you really want to help me
Then do the right thing
But if you cannot, please shut up
And let me be
