So I’m not going to listen anymore. You had your chance with me but you threw it away.
Your letter came in the mail today and this is what I did with it:
The lines of this song capture it so perfectly.
I used to take you at face value
You spoke, I listened and the only thing missing was the truth
Yeah, promises, promises
Lines as honest as a three dollar bill
You talk the talk
But you don’t walk the walk and I’ve had my fill
Going on like this is so absurd
I’m sick of these words, words, words
I burned your letter, dad, and now I want you to just leave me alone.
I have to say that I watched the entire video because I love burning things and couldn't take my eyes away. With that aside, I am proud of you for being there for your mom and being such a strong woman! Love you and Laurs too!
I understand that it might seem easier to burn an unopened letter than to read it, or to surgically remove a parent from your life than to work things out, but is it…really?
