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
