Sorry guys this is a gonna be a long post:
Whenever I hear this song I think about my father. My mom raised me on her own and I never got to see my dad ever. I think the last time I saw him was wen I was in grade one. All my life I had been angry at him for not making an effort to come see me. I would also hate him for just not being there for me cos there are times in life when a girl needs her father there for her to help her through certain things and at times I would blame him for my problems in relationships.
In July this year he passed away. And I was still angry at him only this time I was angry at him cos he had left without seeing me one more time, without even telling me once in my life ever that he loved me. I was angry cos he died without explaining to me why he was never there for me. And as I sat on my bed one afternoon while listening to music this song came along. Up until that day I was unable to cry about my dad passing, this song came on and I was sobbing. Especially in the chorus where she sings “I would hold you in my arms I would take the pain away Thank you for all you've done Forgive all your mistakes There's nothing I wouldn't do To hear your voice again” After my mom told me why my dad was so absent it started making sense to me why he couldn’t be there for me. “Would you tell me I was wrong? Would you help understand? Are you looking down upon me? Are you proud of who I am?” These questions are questions that will always haunt me because I will never have them answered from him.
“There's nothing I wouldn't do To have just one more chance To look into your eyes And see you looking back” in this song at least they got to look into their dads eyes in my case I would sing There’s nothing I wouldn’t do to have just that one chance to look into his eyes.
And just like the song says if I had one more day I would tell him how much I missed him since he left that last time I saw him in Grade 1.
“I'm sorry for blaming you For everything I just couldn't do And I've hurt myself by hurting you” And most importantly for me on my side Now that I do know the whole story I am truly sorry for blaming him for everything I couldn’t do and I now realise that in me hating him I have hurt him and more importantly hurt myself more than I can ever imagine.
