Where'd You Go, Daddy?

Daddy, where'd you go?
Why did you leave my side?
I stood by you my whole life, but now I know it's all a lie.
Daddy, where'd you go?
Why don't you pay the bills?
Mommy is doing everything, and then YOU take the pill.
Daddy, where'd you go?
Why aren't you in my life?
I guess it's time to face the fact that I no longer have a Daddy in my life.

As a child, I looked up to you.
Isn't that what little kids do?
You were my Daddy, and I your girl.
I loved you more than anyone in the world.
In my early years, I spent my days
Smiling and laughing with my Daddy all day.
Oh, how times have changed.
Now your face fades to grey...

Daddy, where'd you go?
Why did you leave my side?
I stood by you my whole life, but now I know it's all a lie.

I never allowed myself to believe
That you were here but you wanted to leave.
Little girls don't think of their Daddys like that.
I never thought I'd be the girl
Whose Daddy crushed her entire world,
Leaving her in pieces all over the ground.

Where were you when big sis was depressed?
Where were you when she failed her tests?
As I fight the urge to snap my comb,
I finally realize why she never wanted to come home...

Daddy, where'd you go?

And that's fine, 'cause I don't need you...
I don't need a Dad to be happy,
I don't need a Dad to be fine!
I don't need a Dad to make good friends,
I don't need a Dad to make time!
I don't need a Dad to make me smile,
I don't need my Dad to be here!
I don't care that he up and left me,
'Cause all I need are the people right here!
And that's fine...
"I think it may be good that you are gone."
