Didn't you know your little girl grew up?
You turn the knife into a wound I'd let heal so long ago
Why do this to me now, what did you think you'd achieve?
Was this my punishment for the addictions I'd laid to rest and you'd never known I fought
Daddy I loved you like no other I was your girl and you were my hero
What went wrong so long ago
Was I so bad you meant the words you said?
Was it so hard to love me for who I was and to forgive me the sins I didn't want to commit
I let the past lie, I let you go and moved forward
Yet now when I'm calm and safe in my own skin you do this
What did you want from me
I will not forgive, I will not forget
I gave you a second chance to love me and to be the Daddy I remember
You threw it back at me
So I'm closing the pain away
I refuse to cry for a stranger
So Dear Daddy... your daughter is done
