My father had a heart attack yesterday.
And I was the first to see his pain
I found the bottle of spilled aspirin
And saw the wires in his veins
My father had a heart attack.
I was asleep when he called for help
I convinced myself it was his nightmare
For the convenience of myself
My father had a heart attack
And Lauren stood there and watched in fear
Paralyzed by tired awakening
And the scarce appearance of my father’s tears
My father had a heart attack.
And Jessie was so skeptical yesterday
She was shocked and helpless by mixed emotions
And just didn’t know what to say
My father had a heart attack
And my mother cried for all his ache
She loved him for his old personality
But hated him for his mistakes
My father had a heart attack.
And this is all that’s left
A family that he never had
And love that he never kept |
