I'M Sorry Daddy

There is a story I was once told About the glory In growing old I was 15- no longer a child But too young still To be running so wild And chasing that reckless thrill My daddy and I were fighting But he sat me down to say Stop speeding like lightening You'll miss being a kid someday!! Chorus: I'm sorry daddy I should've listened to you But I couldn't see All the pain I was about to go through I was rushing to be grown So I could just take flight Get away from all I'd ever known Oh daddy I wish you weren't right!! Verse 2: I was 17 when my niece died She was only ten Oh I cried more than I'd ever cried Wishing I could see her again Life came at me fast Cuz that same year I fell in-love N watched the world fly past Gave my boundaries a shove Ya I got my wish to be free N moved out of state Took my love with me And it was so great But I still am Chorus x1 Bridge: Now I'm living with only momma at 24 Feeling my heart break Cuz I can't see you anymore And realizing I made a mistake I should've cherished you then When I had a chance Should've not waited again To share another dance!
