Daddy's Little Girl

Location

Hush little baby don't you cry

Daddy's right here right by your side

S T O P

We all know that's a lie

Said you'd always be there since day one

But it was as if you were absent in the long run

Although you were present for my financial needs

To me you will always be and absent father

You built me up just to tear away my armor

A b s e n t F a t h e r

Because that's what you are,

Said you'll be the one that wipes away my tears

But all you ever gave me were my biggest fears

Taught me to always stand up for myself

Quickly did I realize it didn't apply towards yourself

Because every time I speak up,

You shut me back down

I'm yelling and screaming yet you don't hear a sound

Absent father

Absent mind

Absent love

Absent cries

You don't care about how I feel

All you ever care about is your pride

I'm nothing to you but a traumatized child

Just because you don't understand doesn't make it less real!

Used to be daddy's little girl

Now she's just daddy's little broken child

Because even though she tried to smile

It only lasted for awhile

Daddy, I've cried rivers bigger than oceans

I've experienced hurricanes of emotions

These hands hold nothing but scars underneath

From swimming these oceans and learning to breathe

Where were you in my time of need?

Didn't you hear my silent screams?

My silent cries?

Daddy, I think it's time for me to say goodbye..

My silent tears?

Daddy, I'm drowning in my fears..

My silent pleads?

Daddy, when I'm gone tell everyone to proceed..

Daddy's little girl has suicide engraved in her mind

Daddy's little girl is shortly running out of time

So hush little baby don't you cry

Soon enough you won't be alive
