Why Daddy Why
What are you doing,
How can this be?
Cant you see you've destroyed me,
Starving for acceptance,
Waiting for your love
Looking for some guidance from the man above.
How can you say you love me,
How can you say you care?
How can you say you've changed now,
And yet you're still not there.
The little girl still cries within,
The teenager still rebels
The woman you and mom created,
was doomed for a life of pain
Remember the song daddy's hands,
Who wrote it and why did they lie,
These are the questions I ask myself,
Can you tell me why daddy why?
