Why Did You Leave lyrics

When I was young, I drew what I thought you to be;
The perfect father to teach me, and raise me up by the sea
And now look where we are – we're underneath the city in your criminal den
Drinking wine and talking about a past that never could have been

Father, I have waited for so long for this moment
"Don't you cry, little Sapphire," my mama told me, "he'll come back."
I found you and you lied – you said your weren't mine
You say you loved her, why'd you lеave us both behind and go off to sea?
Fathеr, why'd you leave?
