Daddy’s Girl


She waits patiently
She won’t give up the fight
She talks in her sleep
Wakes up screamin’
In the middle of the night
To her love’s a game
She’s played before 
But it always turns out the same

You know she won’t talk about it
It happened when she was only ten
How could she know her Dad
Would become the monster under the bed
And she knows it’s not fair
But she can’t give love
Cuz it’s something that was never there


Deception, lives in these walls
Memory walks these silent halls
Sayin’ sorry doesn’t make it right
Daddy’s girl won’t be coming home tonight

Lover’s come but they don’t know
Her love was stolen a long time ago
So it ends before it begins
Cuz she’s still payin’ for her Daddy’s sins
Still she keeps the faith
She’ll meet a man whose arms will make her feel safe

Deception, lives in these walls
Memory walks these silent halls
Sayin’ sorry doesn’t make it right
Daddy’s girl won’t be coming home tonight
