Amy Fifita - A Simple Question

It's not like I'm asking you the one millionth number in pi,
I just need you to answer my simple question: Why?
Why did you leave me alone in the dark?
Why did you leave my mum with your mark?
Why did you beat my brother and I?
Can you even look me in the eye?
Why did you cheat on my mum, your wife?
Why didn't you care about us in your life?
Why didn't you contact us until 2006?
It was like you throwing us like useless bricks.
You came here to try again you said.
You came back to get my mum rewed.
But all you did was hurt us more,
And I didn't even want to open the door,
To you my own father the one who's meant to care.
But most of my life you were not there.
Can you blame me that I don't want you around?
Do you care that I think your lies are your normal sound?
It is just a simple question with a simple reply,
But you can't answer my simple question: Why?
