I'M Sorry Daddy
There is a story
I was once told
About the glory
In growing old
I was 15- no longer a child
But too young still
To be running so wild
And chasing that reckless thrill
My daddy and I were fighting
But he sat me down to say
Stop speeding like lightening
You'll miss being a kid someday!!
Chorus:
I'm sorry daddy
I should've listened to you
But I couldn't see
All the pain I was about to go through
I was rushing to be grown
So I could just take flight
Get away from all I'd ever known
Oh daddy I wish you weren't right!!
Verse 2: I was 17 when my niece died
She was only ten
Oh I cried more than I'd ever cried
Wishing I could see her again
Life came at me fast
Cuz that same year I fell in-love
N watched the world fly past
Gave my boundaries a shove
Ya I got my wish to be free
N moved out of state
Took my love with me
And it was so great
But I still am
Chorus x1
Bridge: Now I'm living with only momma at 24
Feeling my heart break
Cuz I can't see you anymore
And realizing I made a mistake
I should've cherished you then
When I had a chance
Should've not waited again
To share another dance!
