I'M a Big Girl Now
No matter that the sun doesn't shine today
She knows every cloud will fly away
No matter that her heart bleeds and feels sore
She knows some day she'll smile again once more
The hurt in her runs deep etched from her own blood
He hurt her in the way no man ever should
He tore from her a part that was hers to give
He stole from her the heart she could give love with.....
She was just a helpless child
Feeling lost and hurt inside....
But now that I have grown
And struggle with this world
I'll get through I'm not alone
Gone is daddy's little girl.....
No matter it's far distant in her memory
She still feels the shame and indignity
No matter that you haunt all her days and dreams
She knows she'll find the strength and survive her screams
The hurt will be a part of her life always
It's the only constant now it always stays
It messes with her mind so she sees your face
Your image always fills her full of disgrace
You could have been the apple of her eye
She knows you really should have been
But you didn't love her right just made her cry
She's seen some things that shouldn't be seen
She was young and helpless then
You broke her so she can't mend....
But now that I have grown
And struggle with this world
I'll get through I'm not alone
Gone is daddy's little girl.....
I'm a big girl now.....
I'm not daddys little girl....
I'm a big girl now.....
No more daddy's.... little girl....
