I saw your breath
As you backed in that muddy old truck
You packed your memories
And left us all your bad luck
I blew on the glass
But you missed my piece of art
Then, I watched you leave
Through my windowpane heart
As a child, I wanted you to be
Everything I didn't see
A daddy to have and hold
A warm hand in the cold
But too many years, I blamed me
For this fairy tale family that wasn't meant to be
Look at Mamma's wedding picture
And her honeymoon glow
Was that a make believe I do
Where did all that happiness go
I've come to learn
Some moments that you steal
Turn to fractures
That never seem to heal
As a child, I wanted you to be
Everything I didn't see
A daddy to have and hold
A warm hand in the cold
But too many years, I blamed me
For this fairy tale family that wasn't meant to be
A daddy to have and hold
A warm hand in the cold
But too many years, I blamed me
For this fairy tale family
Oh, I blamed me
For this fairy tale family that wasn't meant to be
