Can't I Be Your Little Girl?

How can't you see I'm choking!
Drowning in my own tears.
I won't... Can't let you see how much your actions, your words are hurting me.
You say you'll change but you stay the same.
All I ever wanted was to be your little girl.
How can I make you proud when I feel like I'll never be good enough in your eyes?
You tell me I can tell you anything but you tell me the same old thing but you never change,
So I'll write down what I can't tell you out loud.
I tell you all the time that "I love you".
But my eyes, my soul is screaming for you to see the pain you’re causing me.
All I want is to be your little girl even if it’s just for a little bit.
You tell me you love me and no one can replace me so why don't you show it to me?
I thought you were the parent and I was the child so why can't you stop talking to your friends long enough to hear me out?
I'll always have a part of you with me,
Even when my happy memories of you start to burn.
There's a hollow part in my heart were you're supposed to be,
I tried to keep you there but you kept opening my wounds and letting me bleed my heart out.
All I ever wanted was to be your little girl,
Daddy why do you keep pushing me out?
Can't I be your little girl?
