Daddy's Mistake

The cemetery lies dark and cold
On this moonless summer night
As I walk among the gravestones,
Silent as a bat in flight.

The gravestones, cold against my skin,
Send shivers down my spine
As, again, I try to think of a way
To convince everyone that I'm fine.

"I'm over it," I tell myself,
But I know that it's a lie
Because from somewhere deep inside of me,
My soul begins to die.

I never wanted it to be this way.
I've caused everyone so much pain.
I sink to my knees by the mausoleum
As the sky begins to rain.

I'm sorry for everything I've ever done
To put your dreams at stake.
I used to be "daddy's little girl"
...Now I'm just daddy's mistake.
