Daddy?

Daddy why did you quit believing in me? 

Why was what she thought more important than the truth before your very own 
eyes? 

Daddy tell me why you don't love me anymore? 

Why weren't you there to wipe away my tears?

Do you ever think of me? 

Would you even recognize the young woman I've grown up to be? 

Daddy what did I do to make you hate me so much?

Do you even miss me? 

It wasn't always like this you used to be there for me!

Holding my hand along the path of my childhood...

Daddy why is it any different now? 

I thought you loved me,

I thought you cared,

Am I wrong? 

Can it be that you don't and never did?

I've heard so many stories about after I was born you called me your angel, your 
little princess what has changed? 

What ever happened to the good ol' days?

Daddy I still love you even if you don't love me...

Daddy why don't you understand it? 

Daddy Why?
