I Cant Let You Go

Tik tok tik tok 
The clock is ticking 
Time is moving 
And sadly I cant stop it 
Sometimes I wish that time could go back instead of moving on faster, I just want my dad to come back and hold on to me tighter.

I cant let you go 
I cant just let everything flow 
Daddy life without you is really not a joke 
Trust me when I say I've tried to be happy 
I've tried not to be messy and I've tried to let you go 
But daddy I cant do it I mean I cant let everything flow.

"Your father loved you" everyone seems to tell me the same thing but I wish I could have heard those love words from the horses mouth, and hearing it from other people just weighs me down, I mean yes I know he loved me, yes I know he was a good father but I just want him to come back and tell me, tell me how much he loves me and how much he adores me, tell me how blessed he is to have me as his daughter and how blessed I am to have him as my farther.

I cant let you go 
I cant let you go dad 
I can't say goodbye, even after 10 years, your death will always be something I will never accept, and you dad, you will always be someone I will never forget.
