Daddy's Little Girl

The only daughter you’ll ever have

And I’ve been living for almost 17 years

The one you wanted dead from the start

The one you abandoned for four years all because of a thought

They fed you lies and called me a bastard

Called my mom a slut, but you never asked her

The day you found out you left without a say

Didn’t get to know me, or wait for the due date

She said, “I’m pregnant” you packed your bags

Saying “Adios” and I didn’t have a dad

For months you told her “kill it. Abort it

It’s pathetic, useless. It doesn’t need us”

I’m glad she didn’t listen because I heard your excuses

How I’m your little girl, but I wish I wasn’t

You’re no dad just a sperm donor

How can I love you when you hate me so?

Nearly 17 years and I’m still dead weight

Don’t ask you for anything

But I’m still disappointing

Sorry for being the bringer of bad news “dad”

But your little girl wishes to be dead

How can you live with yourself?

Driving your daughter to suicide.

You’ll never know what it’s like

Trapped inside your mind knowing you’re unwanted

I’ve been your daughter nearly 17 years and you weren’t there

All those nights in the hospital and everyone was scared

I only wanted my dad to tell me I was alright

But he was always out getting drunk, and I cried those nights

Then 2 years ago you got a son

Jocelyn who?

Oh yeah THAT girl!

No more daddy’s little girl

But don’t you feel bad?

Telling your daughter that she’s better off dead

You were there for him and not me

His first breath, first step, first word, you were there

I’m kept in the dark, out in the cold

I wish you never created me

I hate how I look like you

I wish I wasn’t daddy’s little girl

I’d rather die tonight

But instead I waste my time breathing

Knowing you’re my dad and making me feel bad

But I got news for you now, DROP DEAD

Because these past 17 years I never needed you

I had my mom and stepdad

And he didn’t leave me since the day we met

He’s not a stepdad, no

This is a better dad and man than you will ever be

Get out of my life

I’m not your little girl

I’m the mistake you made, who wishes she were dead

But I’m still here breathing

Making your life a living hell

But then again, I am just daddy’s little girl
