Daddy Come Back

Dad I don't understand why you felt the need to leave,
You continue to tell me lies, I continue to believe.

Dad please come back, and be there like you should,
Do all the things for me, that you promised mommy you would.

Don't hit mom, and don't leave for weeks on end,
Just don't bother to be fake, don't bother to pretend.

Daddy come back, and be a fun loving guy,
Come back and stay, tell the truth don't lie.

I don't understand, why you hurt me so,
Daddy explain to me please, why you had to go.

You say daddy has to leave for a while, but you don't rush to tell me where,
I see a tear in you eye, but that tear isn't really there.

You told mommy you'd come back that night, but you never did,
You showed up three weeks later, who were you trying to kid.

I was just a baby, why'd you try to hurt me so much,
I was too little to get it, but still you hurt me so much.

Now I'm all grown up daddy, I'm not a little girl,
You are back now daddy, and I don't want to be your world.

You left for so long, and I didn't think you'd ever see me again,
Now you're back daddy, and oh so long it's been.

Daddy why did you do this, daddy why did you go away,
Daddy why did you not love me, daddy why couldn't you stay.

Why did you do what you did dad, why did you go to that place,
Daddy why didn't you care, when you saw that look upon my face.

Daddy why do you drink, and daddy why do you drive,
Daddy why would you not care, whether I was dead or alive.

Dad I wish you could see me now, and see what I've become,
But to treat your baby girl right, you were so blind, and way too dumb.

Daddy thanks for acting, thanks for telling me you cared,
Thanks a lot for not being there when I was in need or just plain scared.

Daddy I hate what you did, and what you do,
Daddy you say you love me, but I don't know if it's really true.

That day when I came in, and saw you all wrapped up in white,
I knew that my daddy was hurt, and that he wouldn't be alright.

I was four that day, dad, and look, you didn't care and that's a fact,
You told me you were leaving, and that you'd be back.

When you came back daddy, you were the same as when you went,
The whole time you were there, daddy, there wasn't one letter you sent.

Years and years I went, without a daddy to hold my hand,
Sad lonely nights, without a daddy to demand.

So much I would have cared, if you had just showed your love one time,
But no daddy, you didn't, you weren't even mine.

Daddy I know where you went, even though,
Where you were going, you didn't want me to know.

Like I said, I was only four, and I thought you were a good man,
But that was ten years ago dad, and I've gotten used to your plan.

You only want to hurt me, and not wipe away my tears,
You only want to hurt me daddy, and not care about my fears.

You hurt mommy you were the souce of her cries,
You hurt me too daddy and you didn't dry my eyes.

Where you went is a place where I would hate to be,
But daddy, oh my daddy, why don't you care about me?
