She Didn't See Me Fall

I just wish you would've stayed.
I was still your father, even at my worst.
She didn't see me fall, didn't hear me call her name,
Didn't see me fight the darkness or the weight of all the pain.
I was breaking in the open, but no one turned around.
I was losing everything I was, just trying not to drown.
One night I hit the bottle, no one left to call.
I whispered in the darkness, "Jesus,
Take it all." She didn't see me write,
