Daddy

In my childhood I was stubborn

Persuaded I was strong

Thought I knew everything

But I knew nothing all along

Truth is, I didn’t want to feel

Like I was leaning on your shoulder

But then I fell into the trap

Was that too late though

Because the hurt is done?

All those boys who didn’t show

Look who won

I thought this was it

There is no one here to rescue me

And then I heard your voice, saw the concern in your eyes

How couldn’t I see?

Daddy, you came for me

Daddy, you risked everything to save me

Daddy, you promised to protect me

Daddy, what can I do but say I’m sorry?

Daddy, you stayed strong

Daddy, you kept going on

Daddy, why did I wait this long

To say I’m grateful for you?

I didn’t listen because I was sure

What I said was right

I was determined to be mature

I ended up crying at night

Honestly, I didn’t mean it

When I told you to stay away

Stop meddling in my business

It embarrasses me to this day

Is it too late though

Because the hurt is done

Or can you forgive me

And let me back as number one?

I thought this was it

There is no one here to rescue me

And then I heard your voice, saw the concern in your eyes

How couldn’t I see?

Daddy, you came for me

Daddy, you risked everything to save me

Daddy, you promised to protect me

Daddy, what can I do but say I’m sorry?

Daddy, you stayed strong

Daddy, you kept going on

Daddy, why did I wait this long

To say I’m grateful for you?

Mommy left me, I was a mess socially

My friends and boyfriends in and out

I began to blame my pain on you

I needed one good thing in my life to be true

I couldn’t help to shout

Still, you stayed by patiently

You took care like a guardian lovingly

I regret waiting ‘til after

To share with you in your laughter

Can you forgive me as your daughter?

Accept my apology please, father

I thought this was it

You’re through and leaving me

And then I heard your voice, saw the concern in your eyes

How couldn’t I see?

Daddy, you came for me

Daddy, you risked everything to save me

Daddy, you promised to protect me

Daddy, what can I do but say I’m sorry?

Daddy, you stayed strong

Daddy, you kept going on

Daddy, why did I wait this long

To say I love you, Daddy
