Daddy

Awkward things come to an end.
That's why I blocked my heart,
And chained it to the wall
Cause you haven't been there at all.

In time my house became a place,
Where the wrongs were right.
And the rights were wrong,
With too much drama and pain.

Now tell me are you proud of who I am,
Can you please help me understand.
Why you couldn't love me back,
Forgiveness ain't that hard to grasp.
Daddy I need to hear you say:
I, I never meant to hurt you
Baby girl, you've got to believe me
I never meant to break your heart
I just wanted to love you
Somehow I didn't know how to.
I still blame myself.

Unable to receive the love
and affection from you
Like a daughter should
It did far more damage than good

Holding grudges are a waste
Life is way too short
And I just want to let go
Of all the things that I can't change

Now tell me are you proud of who I am,
Can you please help me understand.
Why you couldn't love me back,
Forgiveness ain't that hard to grasp.

Daddy, I need to hear you say:
I, I never meant to hurt you
Baby girl, you've got to believe me
I never meant to break your heart
I just wanted to love you
But somehow I didn't know how to.
I still blame myself.

If I had just one more day
No more promises were made
I would hold you tight
And tell you I love you anyway

If I had just one more day
No more promises were made
I would hold you tight
And tell you I love you anyway

I never meant to hurt you
Baby girl, you've got to believe me
I never meant to break your heart
I just wanted to love you
But somehow I didn't know how to.
I still blame myself.

You should have been there
You should have been there
for me
for me
for me
You should have been there for me
Where were you baby
