This song is only wishful thinking...
Mommy said she wanted a copy of this...
to send to my step-dad on fathers day:
Daddy Doesn't Know
Daddy doesn't know
I tried so hard to not let go
I cried myself to sleep last night
Thinking of the last time
I talked to him about life
He sat and stared at the wall
I screamed so loud I shook us all
Daddy doesn't know...
I miss the times when I was young
Soaking up the California sun
He said I'd always be his little girl
Now we're strangers sharing the same world
Daddy doesn't know
The pills I take have made me slow
The drugs I used erased my fears
And all the times I stole his beer
I tried so hard to forget I was wrong
Daddy didn't love me all along...
Daddy doesn't know
My big dreams were crushed when he let me go
The times he smiled are wiped away
Those three words I never heard him say
Daddy doesn't know
How hurt I was when he let me go
Not a hug, a wave, no goodbye
I guess now would be the perfect time...
(To say:)
My daddy let me go
Into the world at 16, on my own
Against drugs and drinks
Where the money's slow
Heres to the times
I thought he didn't know
I lived, I breathed, I was alive
I cut my veins open just to survive
I smoked my lungs til they were pitch black
Just to have my daddy back
Oh, daddy doesn't know.
--------
Maybe now daddy will know.
