I Miss You Daddy (song)

Hush little baby don’t say a word,
Your daddy will never return.
Once upon a time,
Two bodies intertwined.
They were the perfect pair,
Filled with love and care.
Then something went wrong,
Because he knew it wouldn’t be long.
Till their child invaded there lives,
Everything was destroyed that night.

Chorus:
You left me crying years ago,
I hide the tears that I should show.
I wasn’t good enough you see,
Just enough to watch you leave.
Secrets that I never knew,
Daddy I still love you.

December 13th was the day,
You wrote a letter in which you’d say.
I was selfish and confused,
Never realising what I’ve done to you.
1996 the year,
They realised there was no cure.
So he went and packed his bags,
Leaving only abandoned lies.
A new absence took its place,
When I couldn’t see your face.

Chorus:
You left me crying years ago,
I hide the tears that I should show.
I wasn’t good enough you see,
Just enough to watch you leave.
Secrets that I never knew,
Daddy I still love you.

What was more important then?
Drinking, smoking with your friends.
While I was so young inside.
I couldn’t find you when I tried.
And Mom was all that I had,
When I just needed you dad.
Damaged now fucked for life,
As I hold this bloody knife.
Things could be different now,
Living life better somehow.

Chorus:
You left me crying years ago,
I hide the tears that I should show.
I wasn’t good enough you see,
Just enough to watch you leave.
Secrets that I never knew,
Daddy I still love you.

Bridge:
I’ve been lonely for too long,
All because you were wrong.
Slice my wrists up close my eyes,
Just so you can realise.
I’ll never ever be the same,
I have you and mom to blame.
So while I’m on my way to die,
Like you I won’t say goodbye.

Chorus:
You left me crying years ago,
I hide the tears that I should show.
I wasn’t good enough you see,
Just enough to watch you leave.
Secrets that I never knew,
Daddy I still love you.
