This song is about the strained and distant relationship my father and I had.
Lyrics
I was only two years old
When mom and I left dad
I guess she thought we’d find
A better life than what we had
And though I must have wondered
Why we had to go
I was too young much too young to know
I was much too young to know
Why it was we had to go
And now that I’ve had many years to grow
I feel the pain that I could never show
Then dad would come on weekends
And he’d take me for a ride
But I never felt like
He was really on my side
I couldn’t understand
Why he would always have to go
And I was too young
Much too young to know
Sometimes mom would tell me
I was acting like my dad
But that would always mean
That I was doing something bad
And when he’d say things about her
That I knew just weren’t true
It made me feel like
I was all alone between those two
I spent one summer with my dad
But he sent me away
And made me doubt
He’d ever really wanted me to stay
And though I really wondered
Why I had to go
I was too young
Much too young to know
I was much too young to know
Why he wanted me to go
And now that I’ve had many years to grow
I feel the pain that I could never show
After all the years I’ve had to grow
I still feel the pain that I could never show
