Daddy's Little Girl

DADDY’S LITTLE GIRL

Daddy’s little girl

I remember back when I was her

It’s been a while I’d like to know

What happened between us

When did we let go

I often blamed myself

Thought if things were different

I’d still be daddy’s little girl

Daddy’s little girl

We used to be so close

Although we were three

Brother sister and me

There was always extra love

That secretly you gave to me

I craved for your attention

Hated being ignored

The sparkle in your eye

Soon began to die

My mistakes became more frequent

“Daddy i'm so sorry”

Didn’t seem to cut it

You knew that I was lying

Daddy’s little girl

I’m no longer her

Time went on I grew older

So many times I needed to cry on your shoulder

I’d just brush it off

Kept things bottled up

It was easier that way

I didn’t seem to matter to you anyway

Daddy’s little girl

That title doesn’t fit me anymore

I wish we could go back to the times you held me tight

To the times I knew that everything will be alright

You always made me feel protected

Like nothing could go wrong

Remember back one halloween

I think I was age 6

Down the street to trick or treat you took us all for just a bit

We came across that scary house

I was so afraid to go

Before we knocked a crazy clown came out

He powered up his saw

You looked and looked and there I was

Hiding underneath the neighbors car

You picked me up hugged me tight

Made sure I was alright

You were kinda laughing when you whispered “everything is fine”

Daddy’s little girl I’m no longer her

Being bad became so easy

If getting in trouble made you pay attention to me

Then that was gonna be my next mission

Being angry at me

became  your daily mood

Daddy’s little girl

I’m no longer her

We grew so far apart

Darkness over powered us

Your smile became a frown

Daddy I still don’t understand where it was that we went wrong

Daddy’s little girl

I wish I was still her

There was no one I needed more

You were my hero and so much more

I like the memories of us

That make us smile and laugh

Like the one that is framed and hangs

On all our families walls

I think it was first grade

We had our picture day   

We couldn’t find the legging

That matched my rainbow dress

So you gave me your long socks to wear instead

You separated my hair

Gave me two ponytails

As crooked as they were

I didn’t say a word

I looked so ridiculous in that first grade picture though

I remember you tucking me in for bed

I loved all the night stories you read

I’d pretend to not be tired

To keep you next to me

I’d feel you kiss my forehead and say

“I hope you have sweet dreams”

Daddy please don’t go

Silently I’d speak

I wish things would go back

To the way they used to be

Tell me what to do

I’m just so confused

Wish I still was

Daddy’s little girl
