remember when i quit dance? 

i thought you'd tell me you're

disappointed in me but you didn't. 

remember when i called 911 and

you came downstairs when the cops

showed? i thought you'd scream

at me..but you didn't.

remember when i lied to you about

where i was and what time i'd be home

and you found out? i thought you'd say

you'd never trust me again..but you didn't. 

remember when you came home with

gold medals from racing and i told you

that was going to be me one day? i thought

you'd say that's not possible..but you didn't.

remember that night i cried to you for 

hours? i thought you'd tell me to stop..

but you didn't. 

remember when i told you that you're

my best friend and you kissed me on the head?

i thought you'd say "no i'm just your father.."

but you didn't.

remember when we went sailing and i dropped

 binoculars in the ocean? i thought you'd tell me

i'm grounded..but you didn't. 

remember when i lost a $200 pair of sunglasses?

i thought you'd say you don't trust me anymore..

but you didn't.

remember that day you found out you were sick,

and my heart exploded? i thought you'd tell me you

weren't gonna be okay..but you didn't. 

remember when medication after medication 

didn't work? i thought you'd tell me you've given

up..but you didn't.
