A Father's Marathon - E. Town Concrete

Live alone… die alone

Keep running.

I’m supposed to be the sun in your sky

Or the one that you would die for cry for give it all and

Lay it on the line for… but I’m not.

I don’t know you — you

Don’t know me.

I don’t know my own dad and he don’t

Know me.

You turned your back and walked away.

walked away

I spent 19 years without you, learned to fight without you

Played catch without you, grew without you, learned to ride

My bike without you.

you’re not a man, men don’t run

I had to stand strong and tall and brave and barren.

you never

Even gave me a chance you just ran.

ran

Took from your son, took your love

Keep running.

you can’t bring back the years, reverse my tears

Or fix the hole in my heart right here.

you can’t fix the hole in my

Heart right here.

questions right here… daddy did you care?

Why were you not here?

do you know my age?

If so, how old am I now?

how can’t you remember when

You made me?

how can’t you remember the seed you left behind?

You’re not a man, men don’t run

Took from everyday to come.

ruined everyday to come
