Why Daddy?
Some girls look up to their daddy,
think that he is a king.
But he just broke her heart
leaving a bitter sting.
It didn't take long to realize
he never knew it all.
Daddy was never around,
except with breath of alcohol
Now his eyes are glazed over,
and his touch so very cold.
Daddy isn't feeling well,
at least thats what she's told
"It's time to go home baby,
just climb into the car.
I'll be okay to drive you home,
it isn't very far."
A helicopter lands,
and she's taken from a pool of blood.
Why did daddy do this to her;
isn't she supposed to be loved?
She was a fool to belive him,
now that he has taken her life.
She would blame herself if she could,
for letting daddy drink and drive.
