He does

You weren't anything to us But you asked to be You found a family of two And decided to be number three You promised love and truth Saw the greatest moments of his youth You showed us new things We made room for you The cracks started to show But I kissed and bandaged each one We saw no flaws So you called him your son You helped with Santa The Easter bunny too For two whole years You were the man he knew When it was just you and I We made promises of love With a ring and his permission We got closer to a life as one You hid so much I never even knew I didn't know I loved a stranger Someone you pretended was you I still don't know the real reason The one that made you leave I haven't cried since To be honest by the end I was relieved You left one night He still doesn't know why He's too young to know But I act strong when he cries A love of a family shattered over night Six months have passed He begs for you back Each time a heart breaking fight You gambled with everything Sport, horses and your life Then us your greatest treasure I asked, you gave no reason why You started to hurt me with words Bruises made to be hidden from view You pushed me till I broke And could take no more excuse A secret no one we knew We planned to be four And now it's only two But I will never miss you But he does
