I'm sorry you missed out when I went to school for the first time,
and you didn't have me to tell you that you were all mine,
I'm sorry you weren't there to tell me I have to stand tall,
sorry you weren't the one I saw when i came out to play,
or the one I'd run to when I'd had a bad day,
I'm sorry you didn't hear me sing,
you would of been so proud,
and you weren't there to lift me on a cloud,
sorry you weren't there to tell me there's nothing to fear,
but then again you should of been there,
I'm sorry you weren't the one to teach me how to ride my bike,
or the one to take me on my first hike,
I'm sorry you weren't the one who carried me piggyback,
or the one who held me tight when strength is what I lacked,
I'm sorry you weren't the one to hold me when i cried,
or told me I did great when really tried,
I'm sorry you were never there to teach me how to cook,
or there at night to read my favorite book,
I'm sorry me as a daughter is what you never had,
You will always be my dad,
but you will never be my daddy.
