Close your eyes. 

Take a deep breath. 

I take that back...

Hold your breath. 

Hold it in, Hold it back. 

Its not worth it. 

not worth it....

not worth the fighting, and the crying and the yelling. 

not worth the demanding, and the hurtful words.

Who does he think he is?

He wasnt there. 

Wasnt there to hold you when you cried, or when you had a nightmare.

So who is he to tell you about your future?

Who is he to tell you what you are doing wrong?

Last time you checked he didn't do much right.

Twice a year. 

If your were lucky.

Thats how much you got to see him,

and that "you know I'd be there if i could" line?

Bullshit. 

It was his choice to leave. It was his choice to move. 

So dont let him tell you about the mistakes you are making,

because he made too many to talk.

He lost his say,

and you are better off without him anyways.
