the scars that no one sees
the scars she always leaves
the way she cries her self to sleep
the feelings far too deep
yet you dont give a fuck
and youve made that pretty clear
none of us were good enough
so daddy wasn't there
and it all gets shoved in my face
i hate you more and more each day
because the more i learn, the more im sick
and ive got nothing left to say
i wish you wouldnt call
and i wish youd just leave me alone
im not good enough for anyone
no, im just a little stone
you can dig with your little shoe
farther into the ground
the less you care
the more i cry
nobody understands
how could they, when i cant even find myself
lost in my minds demands
i have no more control
and nothing left to hold onto
im to the point where i hate waking up
and i have nothing else to do
im selfish, and im wrong
but who could blame the girl
for wishing her dad would be there for her
but hes only fucked up her entire world
while you sit there emptying bottles
do you see me face in your head
do you miss me, or anyone else youve left behind
does it drive you out of your mind?
do you cry yourself to sleep
like ive done way too many times?
do you love me, or do you hate me
hows a girl to know
when all ive ever watched you do
is come back just to go
you turned your back on me
and i wish that was something i could do
but the truth is that I can't
because daddy I still love you.
