Daddy

Daddy now you're gone...
How am I going to go on
I didn't get to express how I
thought you were the best
because you didn't come to see me
the day that you left.

You walked out on your princess,
your little girl...
what was I meant to do
when I was so vulnerable and small.

I was so young and couldn't understand...
My daddy's gone
so who will be there
when mommys sick...
Who would be there
when I needed a dad.

Years have passed
and I still can't explain...
I still haven't quite
found a way to cope with each day...
My daddy's gone and he's not coming back...

Hes taken a trip of doom
a self destructive trip to hell
the man I looked up to
is locked in his minds jail cell.

The darkness of his habits swallowed
him whole...
each day he regrets ever selling his soul.
He made a pact with the devil
and it all went wrong...

stabbed and beaten
was the devils song.
You were so bruised and oh so
bloody.
the things they did were unexplainable.
Beating you with a stone...
can't the devil see you're already in pain
and just leave you alone.

you're guardian angel
came moments to late and thats
why you were given this horrific fate
They cut you open
they beat you,
but you still continued to fight
just so you could save your children's life...

Who knows what would have happened if you
weren't there,
they would have lost their loves and at their
caskets society would have simply stopped to stare.
But although you have made many
mistakes,
I know you have a good heart
and thats why you continued to
fight even when it
was oh so dark..

I saw you and just tried not
to cry for this was
the night my daddy almost died...
I can't even tell you how
seeing you in that state hurt
me inside....

I just want you to know that no
matter what you have
done I will always love you...
For deep down inside I
know your intentions are genuine and true...
