Daddy Didnt Stay
I never had a dad
I don’t know what one is
I can only imagine
Of what it really means.
My mum she cared for me
Showed me right from wrong
But daddy didn't do that
Cos daddy was long gone
I used to watch my friends
Look at their dads in awe
But I never understood
Why they did that for.
As time went on and I grew up
I longed to know the meaning
Of a man who’s strong and proud
The meaning of a dad
But that just wasn't meant to be
Because daddy doesn't know
There’s a little girl in the world
One he can call his own
Though would I really want to
Pursue a man so mean
A man who deprived his children
Of a life they can only dream
I can’t decide if I should meet
This man who is my father
I guess only time will tell
If things were meant to be
But for now I will live
With this dream inside my head
A dream of a mum and dad
Both who are my own.
I will not forget
That daddy did leave
A girl who now only wears
Her heart upon her sleeve
So thank you mum, for being there
even if daddy's away
I'm always here to be with you
because I know you're here to stay
I love you, mum, with all my heart,
so please don't leave my side
don't turn into daddy,
because we all know daddy lied.
