Daddys Little Girl

I grew up without you, grew up without ever knowing

Grew up not knowing if you ever loved me, did you?

Dreams of what other little girls had were in my little mind

I got by but always wondered if it would have been different

 

Fifteen years without ever really knowing you, without seeing you

Didn’t have the daddy moments like most little girls did with real dads

To young to remember really anything of you, but I’m okay without you

I hope you get your life together, I hope you decided to grow up

 

I’ve had resent in my heart for a long time knowing you didn’t really want me

I’ve cried many times wondering if I did something wrong, if it was me

But at a young age how could I have done anything at all, so innocent

Sometimes I wonder if you miss me, I wonder if you want to see me now

 

You’ve missed the young woman I’ve grown up to be, the things I’ve done

I’m not perfect but I’ve always been here wishing you hadn’t missed out

I wondered if you could have been a father to me at the age you were

I guess that’s the one thing that’s always going to cross my mind with you

 

I’ll never get the chance to be daddy’s little girl with you going where you are

But I’ll be sure to make my life what I want of it ,not making your  mistakes

I’ve got my mom, my grandma I guess I don’t really need you like I did

I’ll always love you endlessly but forgive you I don’t know if I can, your daddy

 

Pain an regret is how I felt when I first realized you weren’t ever really there

Sadness at thinking you could never want me with you ever at all, tears fell

But that’s all over now, I understand clearly now why I wasn’t there with you

I understand that I wasn’t what you were ever really ready for in your life

The one thing I know for sure is that I’ll never be Daddy’s Little Girl.
