Daddy's Little Girl
Fatherless
It's been 11 years since he dipped
Left me heartless
It's down rotting in life's bottomless pit
Hopeless
Wheels missing, I can't bring myself to trust
Now I'm emotionless
Incapable of mercy, lost sense of touch
Numbness
Dependent on this paper and pen
To save me
Because God doesn't listen
So I have no religion
He hangs up my calls
Never wants to get involved
Maybe I'm just a lost cause
My life's moving too fast to press pause
And if I could, would I want to reflect on it all?
Mirrors show every trial, tribulation, and fall
I'm at the point of where I just want to crawl
Forrest Gump, without his braces
Not able to stand tall
If my life was a game
I fumbled the ball
Thank you Daddy
You made my soul harder than a brick wall
Eyes colder than Niagara Falls
With tears that don't come at all.
