Daddy's Little Girl
I was little, I was naive
I was too small when you made me believe
I was young so you took your time
To break down my spirit and take away the shine
With every year we began to fear
The time with you was drawing near
You shattered my spirit and killed my youth
You made me believe your sermons were truth
The devil would remain if I told a lie
And to hell I would go when I die
At times you let her chase us away
So we wouldn’t be a bother and wouldn’t stay
She tricked us with chemicals, evil, and death
She made us believe we were worthless and needed to take our last breath
You let her chase me from door to door
And she always caught me because my weight was poor
You let your friend almost break my arm
And wouldn’t believe me that he meant me harm
You were never there to bring us joy
We were never the same girl and boy
Religion was the punishment, it was your greatest tool
You locked us away because you were so cruel
I loved you too much so I would believe
That you would protect me and never leave
