I've walked hundreds of miles
Only to take a step
But now I'm making progress
And I'm not ready to rest
Saw my dad get arrested
And now I feel traumatized
From all the pills he hid in his wallet
And all the times he stomped on me
With his words
Daddy why did you leave me?
Mommy why did you die
And why didn't daddy tell me it was a lie
He was lying he really wasn't fine
And maybe neither am I
I take a look around me and see the pain
The pain reflects in my eyes
It's my beautiful disguise
And there's always struggles
But in the struggles there's always light
Even in the middle night
When no one is around you
And the voices scream about you
And how much he hates you
Daddy why did you leave me?
Mommy why did you die
And why didn't daddy tell me it was a lie
He was lying he really wasn't fine
And maybe neither am I
Look at me daddy,
Doing it myself,
I never needed you
I got my life, it's ugly
But I'm turning it around,
I know how life is,
And I know how the streets can be
But if I can do it, you can too,
With or without me
Now don't get me wrong I'm not angry
I'm upset
That a father could leave so easily
Vanish without a trace
And come back in a year
Like he's a saving grace
Daddy why did you leave me?
Mommy why did you die
And why didn't daddy tell me it was a lie
He was lying he really wasn't fine
And maybe neither am I
I've got myself
And people that love me
That's all I really need
Yeah, screw you dad
I'm all I need
