The Reason I Write


Daddy daddy A little girls hero Her very first crush Been with her since zero He'd rock her to sleep And tickle her till she woke But her daddy, he left her Recovering from coke They visited and visited After the divorce But when her mum took up drinking Her life changed for the worse Reality became her enemy All she wanted was life to cease So with her earphones and a pen She found her release
