Absentee
Absentee's Resilience: A Poignant Tale of Overcoming Parental Absence
Lyrics
I'm broken but what else is new
I feel emotionally shattered, but this is not a new experience for me.
Unfeeling all because of you
I am numb and emotionless, and it's all because of you.
You left me and mom all by ourselves
You abandoned both me and mom, leaving us on our own.
And expect me just to wish you well
You left, and now you expect me to wish you well despite the pain you caused.
You can't take back the shit that you have caused
You cannot undo the harm you've done, so don't act like you can. It's your loss.
So don't start now. It's honestly your loss
I matured while you were absent, so don't claim credit for who I am now.
I grew up while you were absentee
Don't take credit for my growth; you were not there during my formative years.
So don't you dare take credit for me
You cannot claim responsibility for my achievements; you were absent when I needed you.
You weren't there
You were not present when I needed you the most.
I guess I should care
While I should care about your absence, I find it hard to do so.
But I don't really mind
I don't mind not having you in my life; your absence doesn't bother me.
Not having you in my life
Your absence doesn't greatly impact my life; I am content without you.
You're selfish and a sorry excuse
You are selfish and a poor excuse for a parent.
You're no father from my point of view
From my perspective, you are not a father figure at all.
Just phone calls once or twice a week
You only make phone calls once or twice a week, showing your lack of involvement.
You're too busy to even talk to me
You are too busy to spare time for me; even talking is a challenge for you.
You weren't there
You were absent during crucial moments in my life.
I guess I should care
While I should care about your absence, I find it hard to do so.
But I don't really mind
I don't mind not having you in my life; your absence doesn't bother me.
Not having you in my life
Your absence doesn't greatly impact my life; I am content without you.
I know you didn't want this
I understand that you didn't want to face the consequences of your actions.
To deal with what you started
You have to deal with the outcomes of what you initiated.
You only have yourself to blame
The blame for your situation rests solely on you; there's no one else to hold accountable.
There's no one else around
No one else is around to share the responsibility for what you started.
I know you didn't want this
I understand that you didn't want to face the consequences of your actions.
To deal with what you started
You have to deal with the outcomes of what you initiated.
You only have yourself to blame
The blame for your situation rests solely on you; there's no one else to hold accountable.
You weren't there
You were absent during crucial moments in my life.
I guess I should care
While I should care about your absence, I find it hard to do so.
But I don't really mind
I don't mind not having you in my life; your absence doesn't bother me.
Not having you in my life
Your absence doesn't greatly impact my life; I am content without you.
I won't be there
I won't be there for you because I genuinely don't care about your presence.
Cause I don't really care
I am indifferent to your well-being; you can keep me in your thoughts, but I won't reciprocate.
You can keep me on your mind
You can think about me, but I won't invest my thoughts in you.
But you won't be on mine
You won't occupy my thoughts; I am moving forward without you.
