It's been awhile
Since you replied
Do you know
How much I cried
Waiting for you to show up
And tell me that your proud of me?
I'm now 17
And I'm still standing still
Wondering if you would fill
The gap in my chest
That's missing you
Daddy, oh, Daddy
Where the hell are you?
I'm getting good grades
And I've got good friends
But your still not there
To make amends
So I guess I'll give up
And just stop trying
No matter what I do
I just can't find you
At night I prayed
That you'd come back
And be the father
I've always lacked
That hole in my chest
It's always been you
At least you were the start
Aren't you going to try
Try to say your sorry?
I'm wasting my time
On a man who doesn't
Give a damn
Not even about his daughter
Come on, Daddy
Please, please come back
Tell me that you care
About me
That all my talk lacked fact
Prove me wrong
Prove everything I've said a lie
But you don't answer
You never do
Oh yeah, and Daddy?
I still love you too.
**Dedicated to the Father I always wanted, but never wanted me back.**
