Daddy issues

(Verse 1)

Did you ever notice?

The broken child in my eyes

Drowning in the tears you caused

Longing for the love you denied

She misses you, but I don’t

Who lets a child drown?

Dear Dad, I gave up hoping

You’d ever come around

(Pre-Chorus)

I’m not upset anymore

I’ve forgiven you, I swore

But you hurt the little girl in me

And that’s something I can’t ignore

(Chorus)

I wonder, do you ever think of me?

Locked up inside, lost in your memories

Surrounded by ghosts of what you’ve done

But you’ll never know who I’ve become

(Verse 2)

I grew up too fast, you made me

Chasing a love you never gave me

Told me lies, said they’d filled my head

But now I see it was you instead

I tried so hard to make you proud

But why did I have to prove it somehow?

When loving your child should be so easy

But you never figured it out

(Pre-Chorus)

I’m not upset anymore

I’ve forgiven you, I swore

But you hurt the little girl in me

And that’s something I can’t ignore

(Chorus)

I wonder, do you ever think of me?

Locked up inside, lost in your memories

Surrounded by ghosts of what you’ve done

But you’ll never know who I’ve become

(Bridge)

Your lies filled my head, I let you back in

But you shattered my trust all over again

You as my father killed

The last of my childhood

(Outro)

So I hope you wonder, but never find out

Who I am now, what I’m about

I grew up, I learned the truth

But you never will…
