And with a dead voice, she sang, all of her deepest thoughts, desires, and dreams.
Hoping that just that would make it a reality.
Dear Daddy, I'm so sorry,
I broke your heart,
And you broke mine.
Like a lover,
With a secret,
You just hide.
You are everything to me,
Though I don't know your face.
I look up to you so much,
Though I guess that's changed.
I know you mean well,
I know you're sorry,
I know you're unhappy,
But I am too.
Did you really cry for hours?
Did you really bleed for days?
Is your heart really breaking?
And there's no escape.
I wish you would have listened.
And wish you would've tried.
But you didn't fight in life.
And now we both shall die.
Why is the weight on my shoulders?
Was I a burden from birth?
I guess I was cursed.
And I deserve that curse.
I will go on living.
I know you left.
And as I go on living,
I wish your memory would be kept in my mind.
I wish in my eyes,
I'd see your reflection on the inside.
I wish in the shadow of mine,
You'd keep me safe.
But I go on living,
So dissatisfied.
Love itself didn't keep you living,
And you died.
I know you mean well,
I know you're sorry,
I know you're unhappy,
But I am too.
Did you really cry for hours?
Did you really bleed for days?
Is your heart really breaking?
And there's no escape.
I wish you would have listened.
And wish you would've tried.
But you didn't fight in life.
And now we both shall die.
I guess it doesn't matter,
Even though I wished you'd have talked to me.
It doesn't matter,
Though I wish your face, I would have seen.
It doesn't matter,
But you didn't push me on my swing.
Didn't make me sing.
Didn't carry me under your wings.
I know you meant well,
I know you were sorry,
I know you were unhappy,
And I am too.
I'm sorry you cried for hours,
And bled for days.
Sorry your heart is broken,
And now there's no escape.
I wish you would have listened.
And wish you would've tried.
But you didn't fight in life.
And now we both shall die.
