Daddy's GirlI'm just a kid
Daddy's little girl
We're always together
We like to dance and twirlI look up at him
So high above
He looks down
Eyes filled with loveWe'll always be together
I so ignorantly think
But as I grow
My ignorance begins to shrinkI hear the screaming
From across the hall
I listen helplessly
And start to bawlI'm eleven now
I know it's here
The day when it all
Becomes crystal clearThe fight is loud
And out he storms
Tonight I know
He won't come homeMy heart is broken
But still I wait
Staring out the window
It's getting lateMy older brothers
Say it's over
But that's impossible
We're always togetherHe walked away
And didn't come back
I wish I could say
We were left intactFor days I cried
My daddy was gone
Then big brother left too
Leaving us all aloneWhy did they leave
Why were they mad
What did we do
That was so badI sleep with a knife
Under my pillow
I have to be strong
For all of us nowMy sadness turns to anger
That I cannot control
I bully my classmates
They say I'm brutalMonths go by
With hardly a word
And then he's back
A part of my worldWhen he makes his return
I hide in my room
He looks sadly at me
I pretend not to seeHe thinks I hate him
I just know he'll leave again
They're worried about me
About the way I treat DaddyHe tries to
Have a conversation
I just give him
The silent treatmentHe says that he
wants a hug
My arms are folded
I don't budge"She hates me now,"
He tells my mother
"Just give her time,
She'll recover."I've always known
That he loves me
I just can't help
Feeling so angryAnother fight rips
Him out of my life
Why can't they end
This unnecessary strifeI wish we could go
Back to the old days
When we'd dance and sing
And laugh and playMonths drag on
And I'm getting older
I'm tired of giving
Dad the cold shoulderEven though I'm
Still kinda angry
I want you to know
That I love you, Daddy
