Daddy, Daddy
Where are you now?
Do you not love me anymore?
Was I not good enough?
Daddy, Daddy
Do you ever miss me?
Like me,
Do you feel empty?
Do you feel abandoned, too?
Daddy, Daddy
Why did you leave?
Were you chased away?
Was it me?
Daddy, Daddy
Was it me?
What did I do?
I'm sorry.
I miss you.
When will you come back?
Daddy, Daddy
The last time I saw you,
You laid in the street
Still
With strangers surrounding you
Weeping, pleading
Screeching until no noise escaped their lips.
Daddy, Daddy
Remember those days?
You, stepping into the house
Thick boots striking the ground
Me, little feet scampering across the wood
I would jump, carefree
And you were always there to catch me
Daddy, Daddy
Why didn't you catch me?
Seeing thick boots on your feet
I jumped, carefree
Only to land on your unmoving body
Daddy, Daddy
Mommy took me away
When I wanted to stay
With you
In the cold night
But I said no
Was that wrong?
Daddy, Daddy
"Look at me!"
Why didn't you look at me?
What were you staring at?
"Look at me!"
Daddy, Daddy
Some people in vans with flashing lights picked you up
Momma ran and cried
Again, you didn't move
Why did they take you away?
Daddy, Daddy
Where are you?
I haven't seen you in days
I'm getting worried.
Daddy, Daddy
I wait day after day
Listening for your thick boots
Waiting to jump once more,
Carefree,
Into your arms
Will you ever come back?
