How could you? (Ballad)
A/N I know I've been writing a lot of songs lately, but I was in the car when my head popped in with this one (so thank you brain for not waking me up at 1 am again).
To be perfectly honest with y'all, my dad (who passed in November) was married to a woman whom I didn't like very much.
I make no bones about it, she and I never really saw eye to eye.
I guess I should start at the beginning, but for those of you who actually know me in person sort of know the story but don't know the whole story. I've found that writing out my feelings even in song format seem to help me get through all the shit that she has put us through. (By us, I mean myself and my brother)
To give you all some perspective on this woman, (who I will not name); her friend who I may have met once or twice called myself and my brother to inform us that he passed. However, she had no qualms calling my Uncle (my dad's brother) as he has $$$. She then sent us an e mail to RSVP to my own father's services in which my mother nor my father's second wife could attend. Even in the Obit, we were barely mentioned. We still haven't seen a will. We still have not received his ashes (even though we did ask for them numerous times). She refuses to contact me (even via text, which she barely did when he was still living).
I know that I am probably not the first step daughter to deal with a woman like her (hello, Evil Step Mother anyone?) nor will I be the last, but I'll make sure I do my damdest to do right by our dad and fight until I know for sure I know what really is going on.
How Could you? (Ballad)
How could you leave me for her?
How could you, know it'd be a blur?
Why would you, even care what we found,
When she wasn't even around?
Why would you, know the whole story
We saw her, in all her fancy glory
I wonder if she loved for only
The status or even the money
Chorus:
I get that she was so special to you
Now that you're gone, she ain't been so very true
I'm so sad, and I'm oh so very blue
But daddy don't worry, I'll be true to you...
How could you, I don't think you could have found
That she would be leaving you feeling down?
I got your message loud and clear
Keep fighting and don't worry dear
How could you, know it'd be this bad
Why would you, it's not like a fad
Don't worry, we'll make this all right
Even if I have to stay up all night
Chorus (repeat)
