Don't You See, Daddy?


I don't care about not having presents, Don't you see? I don't talk to you Because I'm trying to protect me. All these years you haven't really been here, Don't you see? All I've ever wanted Was for you to be The same Daddy that you were When I was three. I know it was the alcoholic talking, But why don't you see? All those hurtful things you've said And how they've affected me. All those voicemails you've left Asking 'what did I ever do?' Don't you see, Daddy? You've hurt me, too.
