Daddy Can't Hurt Me (Anymore)

Telling me I'm wrong,
You push me down,
Push me to the ground,
And you smile instead of frown.

I'm trying to get up,
To prove my worth,
But every time I do,
You push me back to the dirt.

All I want is to know,
What I really CAN do,
To make it in this world,
And prove myself to you.

"Just let me go,
Daddy just let me go!
Just let me go,
I really need to go!
I'm tired of this,
Daddy just let me go!
Just kill me if you won't,
I really need to go!"

No matter how hard I try,
You just stand there,
As if hurting me,
Is as easy as breathing air.

Why can't you let me go,
Let me be free,
Why can't you be calm,
And leave my life to me?

Take this spike,
To my heart,
Let me be free,
And fly away.

"Just let me go,
Daddy just let me go!
Just let me go,
I really need to go!
I'm tired of this,
Daddy just let me go!
Just kill me if you won't,
I really need to go!"

I'm begging you,
Beacause daddy's little girl,
Is growing up fast,
And wants to give life a whirl.

It's just a part of life,
Wanting to leave,
To leavet he nest,
But you keep me there with a painful heave.

All I can do now is lay there,
My face in the pavement,
And wait for that last kick,
So that the blow and the pain will kill me.

"Just let me go,
Daddy just let me go!
Just let me go,
I really need to go!
I'm tired of this,
Daddy just let me go!
Just kill me if you won't,
I really need to go!"

Standing up,
I turn to let my courage flow through,
Grab your fist,
And wind it around you.

Crying in pain,
I fall back in a blast,
My spine ready to break,
That move may have been my last.

Are you happy?
You've done it,
You've beaten this horse to death,
But haven't shed a tear of regret!

"Just let me go,
Daddy just let me go!
Just let me go,
I really need to go!
I'm tired of this,
Daddy just let me go!
Just kill me if you won't,
I really need to go!"
