You Said It Was For My Protection

Our very first goodbye How hard I tried not to cry That day I saw a tear glisten in your eye You said it was for my protection But I lost your love, your affection Left with an open wound inside It was based on one big lie I remember dancing on your feet I wish I could hug you, hear your heartbeat Our first goodbye, was also our last How I treasure the memories of the past Nine years and still in war No peace, no gain, just blood and pain So I ask you; What did my daddy die for?
