Hey Mister

Hey Mister,
Mister, hey,
Do you remember me?
I used to be your daughter
Once upon a time
It's been quite a while
And I don’t look the same,
I got a little taller,
And I lost a little weight

I know it's hard to believe
But a few years ago
You left me and mama
To be out on your own
You had your own things to do
Your own plans for life
But did you even think about me?
Ever think how I’d survive?

I bet you never new how much I hurt
Its an open sore, you know
And I cant find a band aid big enough
To cover all my pain
The worst part about it
Is you’re still out there
And you don't care
So the dirt inside keeps filling up
The hurt inside keeps building up

Hey mister,
Hey, its okay
I'll get better soon
Because just like you,
I have a life to live,
And I’ll find a way
To get along.

Even though you’re not with me
Not there to hold my hand
I once promised myself and mama
That I’ll do what I can
I'm a big girl now
I'm ready to face the world
It would have been nice
To have you show me the way
But I’m gonna be okay

I bet you never new how much I hurt
It's an open sore you know
And I cant find a band aid big enough
To cover all my pain
The worst part about it
Is you’re still out there
And you don't care
So the dirt inside keeps filling up
The hurt inside keeps building up

Daddy, I once missed you
Daddy, I once needed you
Daddy, you missed out
Daddy, things will never be the same again
Daddy, I once thought you were the world
Daddy, I once thought you were everything
Daddy, now I know better
Mister, now I know better

I bet you never new how much I hurt
Its an open sore you know
And I cant find a band aid big enough
To cover all my pain
And the worst part about it
Is you’re still out there
And you don't care
So the dirt inside keeps filling up
The hurt inside keeps building up
