Ladders In the Sky

Ladders in the sky
Why oh why do you have to lie?
I’ve seen the shape of your heart
It’s such a shame that it tears you apart
Why oh why do you have to be so confusing?
I’m not the one that’s missing out, you’re the one that’s losing
Ladders in the sky
You’ll never be there to see me cry
Because you’ve left me all alone again
It’s such a shame that you ever had to pretend
Why oh why do you do this time after time?
I grew up without a father because you couldn’t accept that you were mine
Ladders in the sky
How do I know if you’re still alive, or have you already died?
These are questions I will never have answers to
Not because of me, but because of you
Why oh why do I let you bother me so much?
All I’ve ever wanted was a simple fathers touch
Ladders in the sky
You’ve left me to ask so many questions as to why
Why oh why did you ever abandon me?
Why oh why did you ever disown me?
Why oh why can’t you just set me free?
Why can’t I live without you and just be me?
