Daddy's Forgotten Girl

I grew up in a world
With no traditional family
I grew up to be a young woman
Strong and free
But still I wonder if I’m missing the bigger picture
You see I don’t know what it is to be
Daddy’s little girl

So I went on a journey
One that I should not
And I searched for my father
And he was no longer lost
The day he held me in his arms
Was the happiest day this girl could ever ask for

I never asked you to be dad
I never asked you to be the father I never had
All I wanted was a friend
I never asked you to make up for all the times you were not there
I understood and I just wanted to know a little more about you

We slowly grew a little closer
Holidays came and we were together
But soon you saw your baby girl
Was a woman all grown up
The last day was just a 2 month span
I haven’t seen since then

I never asked you to be dad
I never asked you to be the father I never had
All I wanted was a friend
I never asked you to make up for all the times you were not there
I understood and I just wanted to know a little more about you

You turned your back on me
Your phone was disconnected
With worry I came running to you
And you looked me in the eyes
You saw your daughter standing there
She was nothing more than a stranger
I guess I know what it’s like to be
Daddy’s forgotten girl

I never asked you to be dad
I never asked you to be the father I never had
All I wanted was a friend
I never asked you to make up for all the times you were not there
I understood and I just wanted to know a little more about you
